FLAMES UPON SKIN

I let the water rinse away the pain
The water touches my skin like flames
Is it really self-harm to go down this lane?
To hurt myself instead of curse their name

But the red tint on my skin fades away
And my breath will even out
"I don't understand " they say
They never see what its about
I like to ease my hurt
With destruction on my skin
Even temporary helps, I've learnt
But people see it as a sin

So I find ways that don't show
Don't tell me I need someone to talk to
When I already know
Maybe self-harm is something I'll always do

There was a time I was clean
So long, long ago
But people hurt each other; people are mean

My self esteem will always be low
Do not judge when you don't see
Everything that I got through
And how much I hate being me
And I promise not to judge you too.
