We all have scars
Some are shallow, mars of the flesh
Some are deeper, scratches on the soul
And some are both
An outward symbol of the pain we keep hidden
Why do you do it?
Is it an outlet?
Are you screaming for answers?
Do you want the world to see?
Or are you just trying to escape?
Can you explain it to me?
I don’t understand.
Pain to destroy pain?
Self infliction that won’t fade
It’s twisted
Convoluted
But sense doesn’t seem to exist at times
Not when sanity is gasping for breath
Not when depression’s hands are squeezing
I wish I understood
How blood sooths hurt
How wounds could possibly heal turmoil
But I don’t
A/N: There are people in my life who suffer a great amount, they have to deal with things I wouldn't dare dream of on a daily basis. And yet sometimes I find myself wanting to yell at them, to scream at them to see that what they are doing is only hurting themselves more. But I haven't been there, I don't understand so how can I judge? How can I tell them to stop when I don't know what it feels like? When I have never been in that place when pain is the only thing that offers relief? What am I supposed to do? To say?
I wish I understood
but I don't
