TW: Self-harm themes (Don't self-harm on basis of what I've written, or anything else.)


If knives are meant to cut or to kill

And blood is meant to show violence or evil

Why do I strive to see both things?

Losing my control, and ignoring how it stings


Maybe I just want the attention

The love, the care, the concern

Even though I've told no one 

They're all things for which I yearn


Maybe I enjoy the feeling

Like some sick masochist 

Even when it leads to crying 

And is only done to harm an egoist 


Maybe I'm in mental distress

Someone who should reach out for help

Even if I'm unworthy of chasing acquiesce

 And the most selfish thing to do would be to vent 


Well, just like how others live life to the fullest

This phase of mine will be over soon 

Although I do it when I feel the dullest

I can keep my pain a silent roun.
