I look at the mirror Completely disgusted My face is too clear It should be busted
So I punch my cheeks And yank out my hair One of my many self-harm streaks Should I even dare?
A pair of scissors Right below my fingers Should I pick it up And if I do, where should I cut? I look around my body And find my arms empty Of much needed punishment So I attempt to cut my flesh
But I couldn't bring myself To break through my skin So I put the scissors back in And cried again Begging for some kind of help But I never got it And I never will
A poem about depression and the urge to punish yourself.
