Inside

I watch the blood run down
And I can't help but smile
Such an intriguing high
That lasts such a short while

It doesn't make you happy
And it doesn't change your brain
It just brings about the numbness
And takes away the pain

It gives you a sense of power,
Control and stability
Try as you may to fight it
It outmatches your ability

Nothing else matters
When the metal meets your skin
You may hate it with your whole being
But you will still give in

In that instant you're at peace
Issues all subside
Because for just a moment you can show
What's happening inside.
