I found this song this morning while researching other foundations for us to get our stories out and submit writings.
To Write Love on Her Arms is a foundation created just a few years ago and has spread and helped so many people facing suicide thoughts, cutting and feelings of worthlessness. They gear towards pre teens, teens and young adults but support ALL ages in their fight. The irony of it is that my daughter, the writer, was wearing a shirt with their logo on it one day in the summer of 2010 when I began cutting seriously again and was very close to suicide or severe damage from the cutting. She has a heart of gold and a drive to help victims. She had spearheaded for the cause Rachael's Challenge (started from the Columbine shooting) in her school. Her challenge to herself was to find another resource for young girls and guys to have help with issues deriving from school bullying. She picked To Write Love on her Arms. AMAZING how God speaks through the CHILD!
The lyrics will be below the link to the song. The words are so closes to my heart that I am crying.....I remember those dark days and I remember cutting myself to release the emotional pain and hurt. Physical pain made my emotional pain go away. This is a symptom of BPD deriving from PTSD. I fight every day not to cut when I am in my dark hours.

Bad day,
Heads for the dresser drawer to drive the pain away,
Nothing good can come of this,
She opens it, there's nothing,
There is only leftover tears,
Mom and Dad have no right she screams,
Anger runs down both of her cheeks.
Then she closed her eyes,
Found relief in a knife,
with closed eyes she cries
All alone the way she feels,
Left alone to deal with,
All the pain drenched sorrowed relief,
Bite the lip just forget the bleeding.
And then she closed her eyes,
Found relief in a knife,
with closed eyes she cries
Then she closed her eyes,
Found relief in a knife,
with cloed eyes she cries.
Curled up she's on the floor,
Relief left her she had,
Hoped for something more from it,

Hoped for something more from it.
And he leans down to comfort her,
She is weeping as he,
Wraps his arms around,
And around and around and;
The deeper you cut,
The deeper I hurt,
The deeper you cut,
It only gets worse.
The deeper you cut,
The deeper I hurt,
The deeper you cut,
It only gets worse.
Gets worse.
but she's slowly opening
but she's slowly opening,
New eyes
And then she opened her eyes,
Found relief in his life,
And put down her knives.
Then she opened her life,
Found relief through his eyes,
And put down,
She put down her knives.
this song is actually called "The Way She Feels" and
its by Between The Trees.
