The darkness draws you in

A hidden soul, so pained

A secret sin

The rush of anger leaves you feeling drained


Thoughts swirl around you

Broken dreams and wishes emerge

There's nothing you can do

You can't resist the urge


The need for relief is suddenly so real

Searching for your safety

Fingers brush against cold hard steel

You take a deep breath and hold your arm steady


A gleam of metal

Reflected in your crying eyes

Cutting as deep as you can go

Biting back your anguished cries


Blood drips down your arm

And you receive a sick thrill in your demented soul

From such twisted harm

Tearing yourself apart really does make you whole
