You don't need to worry... much

You don't need to worry

I'll never try it again

If I did it would over

I'd be on to something new

I may think about it often

but reposition the blade instead

a few lines here, far enough up

nothing too deep, they'll heal in time

you may not always believe me

when I tell you I'm fine

you stare at the pink marks

you count each fine red line

but know they are my release

my way of freeing the pain inside
