First cut

I still remember that first cut
 
Dead center in the middle of my arm
 
A faded mark that’s only visible to me
 
I still remember that first cut
 
Last week in August first week of school
 
I showed a friend who thought nothing of it
 
I still remember that first cut
 
Wondering how it would feel
 
After it was done I swore to never repeat it
 
I still remember that first cut
 
And the many others that followed
 
That day changed my life
 
I still remember that first cut
 
And strangely enough
 
I remember every little detail
 
Do I regret that first cut
 
Yes I do
 
But no I don’t
 
Because of that first cut
 
I wake up and remember it everyday
 
But go to sleep thinking about my last
 
For one day
 
I’ll look back on that first cut
 
And then think about the last one
 
That first cut
 
Is the reason
 
One day I will have a last cut
 
That first cut
 
Isn’t a demon
 
But a lesson
 
My first cut
 
Changed my life
 
But so will my last cut
