THERE ARE OTHER WAYS

Mon, 11/12/2018 - 10:59 -- SESHEL

Why hurt yourself when you hurt from within,
Why let your pain show through the slits on your skin,
Let me ask you, do you think you're alone?
Can't you see other people's pain just isn't shown,
I understand we all are a little different,
But why can't you see that's what makes us magnificent,
I will never understand why we were chosen for
such grief,
Sometimes it feels as if life was being cheap,
And other times as if life never misses a beat,
So maybe let's try for the bad not to repeat,
I agree you can't always fight fire with fire,
But I find it very smart to show up in proper attire,
I'm not saying that your methods are untasteful,
But does your cry for help have to be so body hateful,
