A Lie to Myself
I don't self harm
Well not anymore
A lie to myself
I self harm and I still feel those long term effects
I can see the old scars still
I want new ones
But I want to show my friends I'm ok
I don't self harm in a way that is permanent
Cutting ties
Cutting myself off
I self harm and the bruises fade
I self harm and the scratches go away
I crave it
I crave feeling
I can feel
But not like this
This is wrong
But it feels right
I don't self harm in a way that is permanent
A lie to myself
