Just Paper Cuts

It all started with paper
I enjoyed the trivial pain
Not so sure why
Maybe I was just insane

People saw my arms
And examined them well
But there were only paper cuts
There's no reason to dwell

The longing for more
Became like my drug
Why? I'm not so sure
If someone asked me I'd just shrug

The pain was soothing
And I know no one would undertsand
Why I have these scars
On my once clear beautiful hand

But the scars are like my past
Ones for some reason
I didn't want to leave behind
I don't know why
But I wanted them to last
To keep them on my mind

It ended with a knife
A dagger to the heart
Marking my death
I had taken my life
While in the process, ripping people apart

A piece of paper
That was where it all starts
But I should have said no
Instead of breaking a million hearts
