Erase Away My Flesh

Over whelmed again tonight
I thought I had won the fight
Cutting was out of my mind
But no it was only a matter of time

I saw that pencil sitting there
And the pain I could no longer bare
I took the eraser and rubbed away skin
How but the pain was only about to begin

I rubbed and rubbed till it bled
I don't care I want to be dead
So many layers of skin, erased
But now with pain I'm faced

It stings with immense pain
The sting enough to drive one insane
Now it's a red and aching
As my soul inside is breaking

Here's my new way to release my sorrow
My luck I'm gonna burn again tomorrow
But don't worry I'm still gonna cut
Just going to burn my skin somewhat

I hate myself, I cut I burn
I guess there's only way to learn
And for me I guess that ways self harm
Burns and Cuts upon my arm
