I burned myself because of the pain,
I wanted to feel the physical instead
Of the emotional. I wanted to hide
Away, escape the anger, the frustration
I turned inward and felt the insanity.
I used to burn myself quite a bit. I wanted to escape the emotional pain, and at other times I wanted your attention. I haven't done that for over twelve years. What a relief!
