Description
I slapped my face
My cheek turned red
It didn't hurt
But my lip still bled

I hit my arm against the wall
All it did was chip the paint
Left but a bruise,
Emotion void and faint

I punched myself in the stomach
It didn't even make me sick
Just knocked me airless
Purging always does the trick

I tried to cut my ankle
It cried scarlet tears
By my own eyes stayed dry
Consumed by demons and fears

I fell down the stairs again
Left with carpet burns and all
Still all I felt was numbness
Since it was just a fall

I nibbled on my nails
Even bit the skin
But all I felt
Was a hollow deep within

I tugged at my hair
I pinched myself in fright
But I did not wake up
From this never ending night

I continued seeing spots
Must be from lack of breath
Grim reaper answer my call
I'm waiting for the release of death

I dug around downstairs
Found an unused rope
But I couldn't tie a noose
There really was no hope

So I took an ice cold shower
My lungs let out a yelp
Clawing my skin raw of sins
Is all that seemed to help
