Not the way

Whats wrong with you? why are you bleeding?
Why is it this you do, to stop yourself from feeling?
How can hurting release? how can it stop you feel?
If in pain are you in peace? Is the smile you have then real?

I've been there, I'm still there, even I don't understand.
How whenever I'm feeling shit, my blade is in my hand.
As I focus on the blood dripping from my arm
I don't see it as disgusting, I don't call it self harm.

But I should, its not the way people should cope
self harm can lead to you loosing all life's hope
Death is just the next step, self harm but more extreme
As I see my friend self harming, it makes me wanna scream

Stop it, Stop it please, don't hurt yourself like this
I don't want to think that one day it might be you I'll miss
Your life is complicated, think about what you might do,
reflect, breath, look around, be glad you made it through.
