in shadows deep where silence lies,
a girl finds solace, tears in her eyes.
the world feels heavy, the pain too much,
but in the blade, a tender touch.

her skin, a canvas marked with red,
a fleeting comfort where fears are shed.
each line a whisper, soft and low,
a secret only her heart will know.

in the act, she feels control,
a brief reprieve, a mended soul.
the world outside, a distant storm,
inside, the pain feels warm.

she hides her scars, a hidden art,
a fractured soul, a broken heart.
but in the night, she finds release,
a moments calm, a fleeting peace.
