Or maybe you cut your self to release pain you are dealing with,
I want to share a story with you a guy named Jackson who cuts to deal with pain in his life .
Jackson is from a small town in Texas , were everyone know's who you are .
Expect Jackson goes unnoticed because of his shyness and does not play the town's favorite sport , Football.
Jackson's mom and dad both work and hardly have time for Jackson.
Jackson Gets good grades but when he show's his folk's his good grades , they say " you could do better , try harder."
Jackson Doesn't have any Friends because he is shy and people are scared of him because he wear's all black .
The Person that he feel's that love him , is his Grandmother.
Jackson's Grandmother died and now Jackson can't deal with the pain anymore .
Jackson one night fed up with the pain , takes a razor to his arms to release himself from his pain .
The Blood running down his arms , in a messed up away, brings him relief .
Jackson Feels he has control for once over the pain he deals with.
Weeks go by and Jackson continues to cut , until his mom walks in on him one night .
His mom just gives a angry look and calls him a screw up .
This sends Jackson into a downward spiral .
With no one to turn to , he writes his folks a a Goodbye letter .
Dear Mom and Dad ,
Why do you hate me so much ?
What is so wrong with me that you can't love me ?
I am sorry that i am such a failure in your eyes.
Please forgive me for what i am about to do.
Love you bastard son , Jackson
Jackson fill's the tub with water , get's in , cuts his wrist's , Breathes for the last time .
His Mom and Dad find Jackson dead , they cry over his body realizing they could have saved him .
