“But my world fell apart, and all they could do, the whole universe, was to silently move on.”
― Khadija Rupa, Unexpressed Feelings

“I am not "cured"--I know I never will be. I will always crave that pain to keep me centered. I will always be just a little astounded when I get through a crisis without putting a blade to my flesh.”
― J. Kenner, Complete Me

“I paint my wrists
a pretty red
To silence the demons
in my head
Creating art
out of my pain
It's the only thing
that keeps me sane

But why do others cry
when they see my art?
Is it because
I ripped the canvas apart?
I never understood
why they looked so upset
I guess they just don't like
the color red”
