The urge is back
And it's here to stay.
I try to make it stop,
But it won't go away.
I need the satisfaction
Of ruining my own skin
To help relieve some of the pain
That I feel within.
I know it's wrong--
Everyone says so.
But it's so hard to stop,
So hard to let it go.
It's like a battle that's raging inside of me.
I need help--no, I need the release.
Sometimes I just wish I could stop being me.
