Self-Help
self-inflicted pain is self-defense
how many ways can I convince
it’s that part that keeps hurting
that part of me I keep working on
bending and folding into it
melting and molding until it
shapes me under the pressure of
friction and stress, predictions of
what it will take
to shake it and how I’ll feel
given the consequences
are very real
they were real
[ I can’t heal ]
I can heal
I can
I swear it
or I
wouldn’t be here
