They face death with small slashes,
� �coming as close as they dare.
Their echo of heart with its ashes,
� �singing a dirge despair.

Have this hope, as a rope:
� �there's a future beyond the blade.
Take this urging up the slope;
� �through Love please be saved.

May your heart heal like skin
� �with the strongest of scars.
May the blade shatter from the din
� �of joy found in your heart.

Breathe fast the life, the gift to you;
� �ride its pain without a care.
Inspire us, to this be true;
� �a hero taking to the air.

We saved applause for your success,
� �leaving the so-sharp urge.
Face yourself, and address
� �why you sang that dirge.

Please have a faith to hold,
� �braving life's scary tides,
� � � without the cuts be so bold;
� � � � �those six-inch suicides.

Written for the cutter. They need Jesus, also. He was cut for them as well.

Thank you . We all need Jesus. There are scars that go deeper than the skin,but Jesus can really help and heal our hurts and burdens. Many are cutting these days-I pray for them. God bless you.
