Self Harming

The endless pain that bleeds me dry
While hollowed tears from these I cry
I feel like falling back in the past
Repeating the thoughts that never last

I take a blade, I take a breath
I take a swipe to see what's left
The cold harsh sting that swept my skin
When the judging blade had sunk far in

I let it out but won't let in
Those judging eyes won't see my sin
What have I done but made more mess
It's all my fault, I must confess

But where is shelter from my pain
When all is surging through my veins
I guess i'll wear my long sleeved vest
To hide more questions from the rest

A little relief from a little scar
A little more and I'll go too far
I don't know how, I don't know when
When all this pain is going to end
