What lies beneath the sleeve?

She was causing herself pain

Forcing the blood to drain

She marred her precious
skin

Struggling to free the demon within

She watched her blood flow

But her demon wouldn't go

She Hung her head in shame

Only having herself to blame

He would always be there

The scars a constant reminder

Of the pain she kept inside

No one in whom she could  confide

The demon just wouldn't leave

The proof hid beneeth her sleeve

When would she cross the line

When would she cut for the last time

When would she trace the vein

And let her lifes blood drain

She would have the last laugh

As the demon left in a bloodbath

She had finally kicked him out

With her final triumphant shout.
