16. Can't

I leave before I say anything,
It's hard for me to stay quiet,
I really want to say something,
But I really have to be silent.

I have so much to say,
I have to hold it in,
It's hard for it to go away,
So I let the blade talk to my skin.

I make my arm bleed,
My arm is not paper,
But cutting is what I need,
Idc about the trouble I'll be in later.

It's because my anxiety,
It's now in control,
It's taken over my mind and body,
And I can't let it go.
