She Said It Feels Good?

She says it feels good and calms her down
when i know deep inside it pushes her down

the pain she feels and hurt inside
i can't believe she would use this to cover it up

so cheap and simple and soft and sharp
when she thinks about it, it really does help

there is no reason for 
no reason at all

it hits the skin leaves the marks
and makes you bleed till you can't stop

she thinks its ok but not at all
i hate it when she does every minute of it

she says its her coping skill but i know its not
thats what she calls it, cutting.
