Your past
has constantly got you
trigger
finger itchin'
pulling
at the stitches
Tempting you to spill
your insides out
To re-write love on your arms
Like you meant the cuts
To cut the conversation short
Capitalizing
a blood loss
in a blog
of glamorized
self-inflicted
battle scars
Some masochistic pride
pulled you into the abyss
Where do you draw the line?
Between exploitation
and raising awareness?

Your past
has constantly got you
trigger
finger itchin'
pulling
at the stitches
Tempting you to spill
your insides out
To re-write love on your arms
Like you meant the cuts
To cut the conversation short
Capitalizing
a blood loss
in a blog
of glamorized
self-inflicted
battle scars
Some masochistic pride
pulled you into the abyss
Where do you draw the line?
Between exploitation
and raising awareness?
