Misery, depression, anger, pain
Confusing emotions engulf me again
I try so hard to just break free
No matter where I go, they follow me
They are destroying me from the inside out
They make me question what life is about
I cannot handle this any more
So I go to my room and shut the door
I decide what my weapon of choice shall be
Then I pull up my sleeves ‘til fresh skin I see
The old scars remind me of my past
And show me just how long misery lasts
As I begin to cut relief washes over me
Confusing emotions blind me so easily
This is the only thing that helps me to cope
Although that doesn’t really offer much hope
I try so hard just to stay strong
But I think I will crack before too long
Misery, depression, anger and pain
Force me to self harm, again and again
