I love the pain,
When it strains deep within my bones,
It let's out all emotions,
That tears could not unfold,
It distracts me from the internal hurt,
It's presence is more distinctive.

A/N: This poem isn't focused on self harm. It's actually about different ways that people release their anger in frustrating times. If you interpreted it that way, I understand. Self harm is a way in which some release internal pain, but it wasn't what I had in mind when I wrote this poem.
