This dangerous habit 
Makes me feel less alone
I see a blade, I grab it
Good thing no one’s home
The cuts will sting 
Blood will be shed 
It’s a sickening thing
This war in my head
But the wounds will heal 
With help from my dad
I know this is real
No need to be sad 
My lover will worry 
He doesn’t understand
His vision is blurry
As he takes my hand
I must stop for him
If not for myself 
The way out is dim
My razor lay on a shelf 
I’ve thrown it away 
It’s time to recover
With hope no longer at bay
I’m ready to discover
The gift of true happiness 
I don’t need this pain 
I was at my emptiest
With nothing to gain
My scars might fade
But that’s okay
I’ve already payed 
And this is a new day
