My Platform

I thought I was the only one whose scares overlapped. I read a story about a girl once who said she had over thirty scars, and I almost laughed to myself. Not to undermine her pain at all, but I would be lucky to have few enough to count. My arms are disfigured. I can’t feel the cuts anymore because I’ve damaged the nerves in them so bad. I have very little feeling in the tops of my arms, if at all. Some areas are completely numb. I’ve had several overdoses, too. Not because I’m on drugs, but I’ve tried to kill myself. It’s horrible.

I’m not going to try to offer any wisdom or words of encouragement, because I know to people like you, like me, words mean nothing. The inspirational quotes, the word of God, doesn’t apply to us. We are the ones that God has forgotten.
