Again and again and again, rinse repeat and yet I don’t seem
to learn.
Etched in my skin forever, release the hatred in my mind as
I let my body burn.
The binging needs to stop, clearly the burns don’t hurt
enough, I am numb in my soul and in my skin hiding sins under long sleeves and cuffs.
I am running out of arm space and vague excuses for my
scars,
So time will soon come to finish this fight but the victory
won’t be ours.
I self harm as punishment and 99.9% of the time it has been related to eating something I shouldn't have. It never really hurts enough to stop me binging again though. I burn because there is no blood to clean up and I get to feel the pain again in the heat of the shower- symbolically cleansing to me for some reason. Then I look at my arm and I realise that I have to try tod hide it. The flatter blistery burn scars I blamed on our fire place, which can be feasible. I look at my arms when I am alone and feel secretly proud, but the rest of the time I have to hide it with long sleeves. I was called out once by a girl at my work, she is bipolar as well but it was OK because she just smiled at me and showed her the scars on her wrists.
