It went like this: Wouldn't talk, not even about my problems There were so many options to help me solve them But I missed them all, blinded by hurt A hurt I didn't welcome, a hurt I didn't deserve Bullied by kids with bigger problems than mine So I came up with my own helpful design I'd cause my own pain, over and over again Because, after all, no pain no gain But all I gained was a real bad habit A real bad habit that stopped me feeling like **** So I thought it was good, I mean cuts heal But they heal into scars, not part of the deal I just wanted something I could handle But now, unfortunately, they became visible Questions, questions, from family and friends I though, Oh God, does it never end? And guess what? I still said nothing Now look at me Three hundred turns of the cycle later Now I'mma see a psych and be a fixed ******
