I use to be a big time cutter & i think the reason i did it because..in a way it was an analogy to the pain in my life. Something hurts you bad, after a while, with alot of time, it SHOULD go away, the pain i mean. Well, you cut. it hurts and throbs, then it scabs, then it's a scar. THEN IT'S JUST A SCAR. it doesn't hurt anymore. It's an analogy to our problems, we want them to go away. Does that make sense? I hope so.

Well, you cut. it hurts and throbs, then it scabs, then it’s a scar.
THEN IT’S JUST A SCAR. it doesn’t hurt anymore.

It’s an analogy to our problems, we want them to go away.

Does that make sense?
I hope so.
