Burning pain in my arms
Stops the burning tears,
Slicing the skin calms my doubts,
And helps ease my fears.
The anger is so strong at times
And my pain becomes too much
And I long to feel the calmness
Of the knifes forgiving, tender touch.
As I watch, my blood pours, my sanity soars
And I long to feel the pain once more.
To those who may not do this,
I probably sound insane,
But it's the only way I know how
To ease the blinding pain.
