Self-Mutilation

Copyright Abby

She sits at home
all lonely and sad
thinking her life is really bad
cutting herself
when she can’t handle life
digging in deeper with a steak knife
burning her arms with a lighter
wanting to start her body on fire
biting herself
when all else fails
kids like this should be in jail
pulling out her hair
in random places
an on her head
there’s bare spaces
she says she’s fine
then she goes and cries
she’s really sick of those filthy liesv hating everone who tries to help
cuz you can tell
they don’t really care
or maybe the help isn’t really there
now she’s addicted to self-mutilation
and being a freak is her reputation.
