Normally too many capital letters fracture a poem's integrity, but here they work, especially when you get to line three and let "normality" intrude. Dropping the caps here makes the quoted phrase seem even more banal, less helpful to the poem's speaker.
I have severe tinnitus and deafness in both ears, and about the only thing most of the doctors have said was, "Learn to live with it." Not at all helpful when the ringing is so intense that almost anything would be a welcome alternative. But in spite of that, I have learned to "ride it through"...at least most of the time.
(But I do scratch at cuts and scars until they bleed, so perhaps I've not made as much progress and i woulod hope...and since I'm pushing sixty, that's not a good thing.)
But...a short poem, controlled, focused on image and theme, with a crisp and clear sense of language. Well done. -

Yeah, thank you for the comment, One of my old psychologists seem to think that cutting and scratching is an immature thing that only teens do. Probably one of the reasons that I don't see her anymore. Again, thank you for the comment and everything.

Yes, Raven, I know it can be very difficult to not cut. I would give in to that so very easily. Why? Becuase it was the easiest thing to do. Fighting the urge was just too hard. Yet, once I stopped myself from cutting, I felt a hell of alot better about myself. So the choice is yours, sweety. I'm with you all the way.

simple but it still gets the point across,good job.

If you realllllllllllly have to cut. Do it.
That may sound crazy, but I'm serious. Cut once. Then go do something constructive... or just watch tv. After 10 minutes, if you feel you still need to cut, then cut once more and leave for 10 minutes. Keep doing that over and over again BUT if you still want to cut an hour after your first one, find someone to talk to about cheese or pencils or cereal.
Sometimes riding it through is hard, don't go cold turkey, you can trust me on that one.
Bandaid.
