A first burn
and multiple ‘scrapes’
hidden from wondrous eyes
to escape most obvious thoughts
of being insane, crazy, or stupid
Rather,
I did it to myself,
I feel the burning, the stinging
but it’s simply temporary,
this insanity
At least I hope

Wow
Is this truth or just thoughts you are exploring. Either way I am sure one asks themselves such a question when they do such things and self inflict wounds upon themselves. Though people do it all the time just not always in the physical sense. Thanks for the read and thanks for reading and commenting on mine.
I encourage you to keep writing to read and comment.
God Bless
