I have never understood sh
Why would someone hurt themselves on purpose
How does that help anything
There's no way physical pain helps mental pain
Why can't they just stop

But then one day I felt so lost
So numb
So broken

So I said what if just for a second
What if it helps
What if it makes it better
What if I just try

So I looked at my razor and I tried
And I understood
Why people hurt themselves on purpose
Why people can't stop

Now I can't stop
Now I look forward to it
Now it is the best thing about my day
Now I understand sh
All it takes is a second
