Harm means run
Harm means leave
People Scream
"Harm is coming, you need to leave"
People don't say
"Harm is coming, here take a seat enjoy the show"
So when you self-harm
It's kind of contradictory
Because your brain says
"HARM IS COMING YOU BETTER RUN"
But trying to run from yourself
Trying to leave your head
Doesn't work too well
You're stuck
Sitting in your own skin eating a bucket of popcorn waiting for your head to end (or the show to begin)
This is why I will be sitting here crying while I'm holding bandaids in one hand and a shining piece of metal in the other
Self-harm isn't pretty
Self-harm isn't beautiful
I find it ironic the way we sip our tragedy
It's ******* up
Just like me.
