But I let it win. scratching out unsaid words onto my self Why can’t I just leave it alone on the shelf Forget the sting Leave it in a bin It could do anything But I let it win. I sit in the dark and trace my problems on my arm Why can’t I mend without causing my self harm? Why is it so hard To let go of the pain It’s like a twisted thought Etched into my brain Just needed some way to numb the feeling I didn’t know id get addicted and forget about healing Instead I cover my arms in lines My very own self made designs I like the colour red Especially on my skin I just give up And let it win
