Analysis of Free At Last (TW for self-injury)
I can’t wait
Until it’ll
Finally get better.
I certainly can’t
Bear to wait
Until the day when
I’m finally able
To live on each day
Without feeling
The sickening urges
To hurt myself.
I’m longing for
That day when
I’m able at last
To live through each day,
Good or bad,
Without needing a blade.
