Which Should I Hurt, My Skin Or My Psyche

Rake 
My nails down my face

Take
Nothing from my disgrace

Fake
My smiles and place

Nails
Down my skin down my arms

Fails
To stop all the harm

Rails
Keep me back but alarmed

Pain
One succeeds the other

Name
Called but no bother

Maim
Feeling hot red and spiky

Which should I hurt, my skin or my psyche
