Self Injury Awareness Day

Today is Self Injury Awareness Day
I don't want to bring awareness to this
I want to bury it under the sand
Pretend it doesn't exist.
And if I need to look it in the face
I want to be able to smile at it
Greet it with a jolly "hey, wassup dude?!"
Slap it five
Ignore it's astonished stare.
Forget about the fact
That self harm has STIGMA
Attached to it
Which automatically means
That I cannot be okay with it.
If I need to face self harm
I will face it with my head held high
With my ego straight
Pride intact.
It's a part of me
And it's okay.
