It's a battle
We always fight
Because when
Sorrow
Enters
Even for a mere moment
We race back
To our blades
Our pins and knives
We crave it
The urges so hard to resist
We'll suffer the rest
Of our lives
Fighting
To say
I'm stronger
Than a cut
Better than a burn
And yet
Our scars are proof
Of failures
Weakness
Our battle is never over
We fight each time
We're upset
Each argument
Each tear
Each moment of negativity
We battle
And I just hope
I am
Stronger
Than the pain.
