why am i a self harmer?
the pressure will build
 until im unaware of my actions
 my awareness is slowly killed
 my mood fleetingly darkens 
 why?why am i like this?
 
 i need to release the pain of the day
 there is no other way
 to me i need to inflict upon myself what i derserve
 or else the feelings will just preserve
 if i didnt deserve this then why am i so drawn to it?
 yes i will admit
 that those slits 
 do not look pleasant
 why ?why do i see this as the only option to relase my pain?
 
 the truth is it makes me feel like the job is done the pain has been admitted to me
 this addiction can never altar
 why? why cant i just cope with emotions like normal people?
 
 
 as my skin is left sore and marked upon
 these feelings will never be  foregone
 some think its weird , some say its attentional
 but in my mind its life to me
 why? why cant people see its what my mind sets upon to go through the abuse i derserve
 
  maybe god did not intend on this but there is one thing i am sure of 
 thousands of teens seek this as the way 
 to make the feelings go away
 its useless it leaves scars but why cant i stop??
