Self Mutilation
She was burning herself.
And her hair was filled with ashes.
She was burning herself.
Using a cigarette instead of matches.
What could make a person go that far?
To bring pain upon herself.
Not to mention it left a scar.
Was she punishing herself?
See the shiny blade cut into her arm.
Watch the blood flow freely.
Seems all she does is harm.
She was never greedy.
She had enough to be content.
Her life seemed to be going fine.
There was nothing to resent.
That’s what made it such a crime.
What would make one do it?
The pain of the knife cutting flesh.
Was she driven by demons to do it?
Was her desire for attention at its best?
I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.
HER PASSION IS HER PAIN!!
