Courage
I hit myself…
Just to hurt myself.
I bite myself…
Just to feel myself.
I hate myself…
It doesn’t feel right, being by myself.
I lock myself…
So I wouldn’t see myself.
I trap myself…
So I can free myself.
I chase myself…
To race myself.
I test myself…
So I wouldn’t grow
to detest myself.
I do all this to myself...
So that…
I wouldn’t give up on myself.
