pitch black

it's 12 o'clock in the morning

lights still on

hand scratching my head

its starting to hurt

my nails

so sharp

my head

although it hurts

even if it pains me

i just need to continue

i might slice my head

it might bleed

i know

but

i don't want to stop

not yet

i need to satisfy

the urge

the want

the need

but if somebody stop me

pull my hand

and start helping me ease the pain

then i might stop

stop

stop it

start all over again

patch things up

heal the slice

and maybe i might cut my nail short again

but if not

i might still be scratching it

till the day that it comes
