Joshua Fegley - Self-harm or self-help?

You look down,
and see my scar.
You think I'm just another victim,
of self-harm.

I'm easy to distinguish,
from the crowd.
The one dressed all in black,
making up for what you lack.

You ask how,
I could do that to my arm,
and why do I practice;
the art of self-harm.

What you fail to see,
is that I choose to be free,
and no matter what I do;
I will always be better than you.

A wild animal or spirit,
emerging from within.
Trapped in this human cell,
I cut to release it from this hell.

It would be hard for you,
to see my reality.
Being that you're just a domesticated pet;
a recrement of our society...
