Punch me, hit me, break my bones,
because you'll never, ever know
that it cannot hurt nearly as much
as the self-inflicted cuts and welts.
Bite me, kick me, slap my face
because pain is the one thing I chase.
You think I'm crazy when you see my arms
riddled with marks and burns and scars.
Throw me, drop me, make me cry
because I will just survive.
I withstand much worse that I inflict
upon myself to quench the urge.
