My wrists are my real friends My head is my real enemy Well, I don't mind it much anyway I write poetry, cut myself, then delete the poem I'm an open book, But some pages still stick together Nobody will know me for good, for good Now I have another secret to keep Rather than that big one, its splintered I met this guy recently, I think he likes me in that way He glares at my arms, Asks me, "Why do you do that? I just thought you were better than that." I **** up my own body For what ******* reason I think that one year from now, I'll have more than ever Since every time I try and quit I always have an urge I've never learned how to deal with them Every therapist I've been to doesn't understand I will be this way until I'm broken in ways I will never recover from.

Why Do You Do That?
My wrists are my real friends My head is my real enemy Well, I don't mind it much anyway I write poetry, cut myself, then delete the poem I'm an open book, But some pages still stick together Nobody will know me for good, for good Now I have another secret to keep Rather than that big one, its splintered I met this guy recently, I think he likes me in that way He glares at my arms, Asks me, "Why do you do that? I just thought you were better than that." I **** up my own body For what ******* reason I think that one year from now, I'll have more than ever Since every time I try and quit I always have an urge I've never learned how to deal with them Every therapist I've been to doesn't understand I will be this way until I'm broken in ways I will never recover from.
