Self Injury
Is way of expressing the pain
That I seem not to be able to talk about.
It is how I cope with feeling numb.
It is how I cope when I have so many emotions I can't even begin to name them.
I self injure to hide the pain I feel.
I self injure and nobody knows but me.
I am me
I can not change that and right now self injury is a coping skill.
On a day like today when the memories flood in
It seems to be the one reliable thing
That I know will help me get through the rest of the day.
