the thought races through my mind again
and i hang my head in shame
uncertain if today I will give in
to this mind and body game.
a daily battle for too many years
shedding more blood than tears.
it's hard not to give up and give in
not to attack and mutilate my own skin!
but is has sadly become an active
and controlling part of my life.
between trying to cope and
picking up the knife
it's an addiction, I know,
and in the world I'm not alone
all self injurers scars
are proof sadly shown
sick of dealing with it
yet again today.
searching for distraction
from something that never goes away.
