I Feel Like a Monster (MAJOR TW for self-injury and su!c!de)



I scare myself
When I cut myself.
I scare myself
When the blood appears
And I relish it.
I scare myself
When I scratch my neck,
Hoping to make a cut appear
So I can fall away forever.
I scare myself
When I want to die.
I scare myself
When my thoughts all consist of killing myself.
I scare myself
When I focus on death.
