Some call it crazy
Some say it’s sick
But I think it’s freedom
The pain is fierce but quick

Some say that it’s a sin
Just a little to risqué
But it helps release the pain
That I go through every day

The blade is sharp and cold
As it runs across my skin
Leaving me to ponder
And decide how deep I cut in

The icy chill running down my spine
Makes me feel at ease
I no longer feel like a coward
I finally have room to breath
