Poems collection -Self harm (trigger warning)

I can be happy

I can be happy,

And I know it.

I've rediscovered,

My old ways.

All I need to do,

Is go to the drawer.

Because in that drawer,

There is a box.

And in that box,

Lays a piece of metal.

That piece of metal,

Is sharp enough to hurt me.

And with the piece of metal,

I have the power

To be me.

I cut and bleed

And I can tell

That I will be okay.

I don't need comfort,

That hurts my heart.

I don't need music,

That puts it off.

I don't need talking,

That makes it worse.

All I need,

Is the ability

To self harm.

And I have that

Amazing ability.

The power to control

Myself.

So therefore I can be happy,

If I continue with that.
