I pinch my arm
I slap my wrist
the feeling is like charm
I cannot resist
it all feels the same
internal hurt or that which is physical
I hate that it came
pain slithered into my life and became normal
took my heart captive like venom
could not fight it, I am a mere mortal
happiness became seldom
sadness gave me a cactus hug
it made me shrug
I soon forgot it was sore
because it is the only feeling I now know
