"The repeating cycle"

She ask me Why do you have so many scars On your arms, legs, hips Everywhere And my answer was simple They show me that I can fight I can get hurt But I will always heal They show me I almost quit But I always got through it They stayed with me When I had noone But she said It's time to stop Those scars are not victory They are a loss The blade is not a sword The skin is not armour The blood is not ink The pain is not a relief It's a sign of a loss And the temptation is like a song That's stuck in your mind And your playing it on repeat Sometimes you need to quit To forget, to stop To quit something you can't Or you'll fall in a neverending cycle of pain
