She takes a razor and cuts her skin forty times
That's forty times too many
For today
She's only supposed to cut thirty-nine
Then thirty-eight
Until she feels okay
And she won't even cut once
Forty is too many
For someone who should be okay

The urge to cut is strong, and I'm not saying to stop, I'm saying to do one less with every passing day. If you stop right away, I fear there might be a withdraw, so take baby steps.
