Welcome it

When you welcome the pain

It stops hurting

It becomes nice

When you cause it yourself

You can control it

You feel it better

When you let it envelop you

It feels like a blanket

Or a protective shield

When you let it take over

It covers you wholly

Your body is red

Your mind is tired

One more cut

One more burn

Just a little deeper

And all this will end

But if you fail

Theyll hate you

For fucking up again

Theyll send you away

“A hospital”

A prison

Theyd lock you up

Is the smile wasnt there
