TW SH
when two words are flipped
people flip
when she says
"i like pain"
people laugh
clutching stomachs uneasily giggling
trying to figure out if the joke was funny,
or worrying
taking the easy way out,
it's funny
a joke.
she wouldn't hurt herself
however months later she returns
this time it's,
"i cause myself pain"
"i sh"
they go silent
let the awkwardness commence
changing rooms now translate to everyone staring at her
checking
looking for some residue of that pain
that she loves so
when they find it
they cringe, get scared
no.
it's not like a pretty butterfly tattoo
or what you were hoping in your mind
it's not dainty
pretty
it's a scar.
white lumps
one after the other
like a ladder.
so why when she said
"i like pain"
did you not pay attention
notice she wasn't laughing
it wasn't a joke.
it was a cry for help,
because now
she doesn't just like it
she's addicted.
by o.p.
i think this ones self explanatory. sh.
