The pain inside is unbearable
Why does no one understand
If they were there to reassure you
Even a hug or to hold your hand.

But nobody seems to see your pain
Or what you are going through
So you decide to hide it away
What else can you do

Then you find a way of dealing with it
A way to channel your pain
You think 'It'll be ok'
'I promise I won't do it again'

The next thing you know it's a regular occurrence
Happens almost every day
'I know it seems weird' you think
'But it keeps the pain away'

It's like a jolt back to reality
To show that you're alive
It's the only thing that keeps you going
Clears your body and mind

The agony inside is one big ball
Of pain and mass confusion
Then you do it and release the hurt
And it's like a calm illusion

The pain is not there anymore
You emotions are unbound
After all that chaos, stress and pain
Peace and serenity you have found
