Put me down

I sit up into the dead of night, scribing on my arms
Incisions, meaning everything to me, my world of self harm
Scratching away with a compass, words written.. no pain
Smile with satisfaction and pure delight as I cut myself again

Shoot me down, and leave me there all alone to die
Beat me up for and let me go, to let the red tears cry
Destroy my mind, with those words that cut right through
Let me fall away from life, let me fall away from you

Put me down, pick me up, then strike me back to the floor
Give me pain, give me cuts, I'll keep coming back for more...
