Annihilation

You won't understand the pain
of self injury
until you begin
the war upon yourself
where the only goal
is complete annihilation
of the skin you call "home"
Only then will you be free

Fenced in by red lines
becoming white scars
Freedom is
bound by the cuffs of
long sleeves and bracelets.
