"I'd raise my wrist

And clench my fist

I'd smile as she'd miss

The scars that exist

I'd say, "No scars,"

Despite my lie

And friendships of ours

She'd grab my thigh

She'd see me flinch

And cross her arms

She'd give a pinch

And use those charms

To make me stop

And make me see

And I would drop

Who I used to be

The cuts will heal

Memories stay

But when I feel

I'm not okay

I'll do it again

Revert to violence

The hate contained

Is why I love silence"
