(trigger warning: implied ****/self harm)**

Unwelcome hands
All over your body
Silenced screams
And then, agony
Like plucking petals
From a flower
That has yet to blossom
When it's over there aren't
Any tears left to cry
Nothing left to do
But let your own
Welcome hands
Carve lines into your skin
Because you think no one
Should have the right
To hurt you
Unless that someone
Is yourself
And you build a wall
Around your mind
Because you can't build one
Around your body
You think you'll never
Invite anyone else
Inside it
(But then you meet him.)
And on a side note, I didn't write this about myself, this did not happen to me, it's inspired by a book I've read. I put a trigger warning  but if you feel this should be marked as explicit please let me know!
