Form Of Self Harm! ! Poem by Becky Ginn

Getting angrier and angrier
My stress levels going higher
Getting more and more irritated
Getting it out is what is needed

Punch a wall
Letting my stress levels fall
Punch it again
Feeling the pain

Punching a cushion doesn’t relieve it
It doesn’t make me feel the pain, when I hit it
It has to hurt, to satisfy me
So it’ll relieve the stress, you see

It’s looking like a form of self-harming
I know it seems alarming
I tried hitting suming soft, although
It didn’t make my stress go

But it’s only when I get proper angry
Not when I become unhappy
It’s not the same as normal self-harming
Although it’s probs still alarming
