Releasing pain
Everlasting pain
Everlasting hurt
Going so deep
But it feels so good
Everytime makes the pain go away
But at the same time
the pain seems to stay.
It's not that I like
to do what I do.
Yet at the same time, I love it, to.
I know it's wrong
But it feels right
It calms me down after a fight.
My family doesn't know
And the stress starts to grow.
Most my friends yell
I deserve it well.
Everytime I praise and scold
I still have scars days old.
Someone help me
Someone please
There must be another way
For this pain to ease.
Everlasting pain
Everlasting hurt
I know it's wrong
But it feels so good.
I try to stop
but it keeps coming back.
The number of times
I've lost track.
Lost alone all by myself
My self-esteem has lost itself
I feel so loved
Yet rejected
My self-esteem has ejected
I say this because I want help
No, no
That's not right
I say this because I NEED the help.

You're right.
This poem is a cry for help.
If anyone has advice that might help me to stop, please... I'm all ears. Just.. please don't yell at me. It'll just cause more stress.
And, luckily, I haven't broken the skin...yet..
