Healing pain by causing harm.
Bloody knuckles hit the wall,
Screaming and crying, to the ground I fall.
My face turns from fair to blood red,
Angry thoughts burning in my head.
My fists tightly clenched,
My hands blood drenched.
Trying to shelter myself from all other people,
Hiding beneath my own little steeple.
Walking away from things I couldn't,
Telling myself I just couldn't do it.
I sit quietly trying to calm down,
Trying to loosen up my frown.
I try to forget all of my problems,
Staying away from the people that caused them.
I try to be just so forgetful,
Killing people with kindness and being respectful.
My world turns into a soft, light pink,
Easing my thoughts and helping me think.
My cheeks turn lighter than before,
Falling into peace and serenity more and more.
I stare into the late pink sky,
My anger is gone, no more will I cry.
