In the depths of despair, in the darkness of the mind
There's a battle raging, a war that's unkind
A battle with demons, with thoughts so cruel
A war with oneself, a fight with no rules
The pain is unbearable, the hurt so deep
The wounds are invisible, the scars we keep
The need to feel something, anything at all
Leads to self-harm, to answer the call
Cutting, burning, scratching the skin
A temporary relief, a way to begin
To release the pain, to let it out
To quiet the demons that scream and shout
But the relief is fleeting, the scars remain
A constant reminder of the torment and pain
The cycle continues, the battle goes on
A never-ending struggle, a fight to belong
But there is hope, there is light
A way out of the darkness, a path so bright
Reach out for help, don't fight alone
You are not defined by the scars you own
You are strong, you are brave
You are worthy of love, you are worth the save
So reach out for help, don't be afraid
You are not alone, you are not betrayed
You are loved, you are cherished
You are unique, you are distinguished
You are enough, just as you are
You don't need to harm yourself, you are a star
So put down the blade, the matches, the knife
Choose love over pain, choose hope over strife
You are a warrior, a survivor, a fighter
You are worth it, you are a shining light.
