Nail Biting

I have been systematically bitting
my nails since I was 6 year's old 
so I am told

Sometimes way down past where
the skin begins and blood starts

And it hurts so much I can't even
pick stuff up

And yes I know it's a filthy habit and
it really hurts

I have somehow never been able to stop

So what is the explanation or only
conclusion to be gained

Am I in fact a sadist do I love pain 

1 thing is most definitely for certain
I must quite obviously be stupid
because I know what I am doing 
to myself

And even despite all this I still won't
be stopping any time soon 

Nailed it
