Sadness builds up inside of me,
As I sit here snapping this rubber band.
What a shame I left the blade,
It's times like this I wish I stayed.
The blade released my sadness,
Rubber bands only inflict some pain.
I'm no longer breaking skin,
But I wish I could.
I can't cut anymore,
For I would hurt those around me.
If I didn't have to hurt people,
I would harm myself to numb my pain.
