Voices echoing in my head I don’t listen I distract myself from letting them get to me I have fought so hard to get to a place of peace No more cutting; no more bleeding; no more tears But the voices miss the rush of the crimson colored drops rolling down my arm They remind me how the world would stop as I breathed in the sensation of the pain How I would feel alive like I was reborn It took me away from the pain and for a minute I felt safe There are days where I am so close to craving the smell of blood the adrenaline rush my body feels But I know better half the battle is fighting these temptations So another day I ignore the screams of my voices and maybe one day it will stop
