Analysis of Losing My Mind (TW for self-injury)
I feel crazy,
I feel insane.
I feel like my mind is lost,
I’m falling apart.
Blood is my refuge
While pain is my shelter,
And cutting is my sanctuary.
They help my need for distraction,
But am I crazy for needing this pain?
Am I insane for wanting this blood?
Am I a psycho for relishing
These cuts on my skin?
I feel like a freak.
These thoughts are in my head
And soon,
I'm afraid,
I’ll completely lose it.
I’m going mad
And there’s nothing I can do.
