You don't understand, <br />Make me feel stupid, small <br />'Doesn't it hurt? ' you say <br />But you don't understand <br />The hurt it hides, <br />The relief it brings. <br /> <br />You look at me strangely, <br />I am lost for words, <br />There feels no point in trying, <br />I'll still be odd whatever I say, <br />I cannot push that away <br />As I can't erase the pain. <br /> <br />'You must be so low to do it', <br />But you don't understand, <br />It keeps me from sinking, <br />Saves me from the pit, <br />Gives visible hurt to inner hurt, <br />And gives me such relief.<br /><br />Becky Ginn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-self-harm-poem/
