Strike the lighter- It only burns a bit. Get the needle- Press it to your skin. Tell yourself- "Never again." But you always give in. Porcelain skin. White as snow. Wounds that easily show. Polluted skin. Littered in shame. Riddled in pain. Cover it up. Conceal the hurt.

Straight Blisters
Strike the lighter- It only burns a bit. Get the needle- Press it to your skin. Tell yourself- "Never again." But you always give in. Porcelain skin. White as snow. Wounds that easily show. Polluted skin. Littered in shame. Riddled in pain. Cover it up. Conceal the hurt.
