Analysis of More Ways Than One (TW for self-injury)



I’ve been finding
New ways
And it’s scaring me
So much,
For I can harm myself
In more ways than
I ever knew before;
I’m so afraid
Of myself now.
These new ways
To hurt
Are scaring me
So bad
Because I don’t know
How to contain myself
From relapsing.
