Chaos to Calm

The moment I realized pain can wear different faces.

I never really understood self-harm,

Until I realised what I did was no different.

Gripping my arm to bring chaos to calm,

Replacing emotional pain with something persistent.

When hormones make storms inside of me,

Like lightning strokes continuously hitting the sea,

The thunder echoes through every thought I keep,

While restless waves refuse to let me sleep.
