poetry - lyrics

lyrics are poetry so i'll post some stuff i'm writing for spiteful, any comments are apreciated.

Self harm therapy, emotional detachment and a vodka and coke, thanks
as i draw the knife
across my skin
i let out the pain
with the hurt that i bleed
i sit and wait
for something to change
knowing all along
it'll still be the same

and it's nothing compared to you
it's nothing just another bruise
a scar will show
where i heal
but nothing marks
the way that i feel
it's reason enough
to stop and think
but i only stop
to pour out another drink

now the blade is stained
red by hate
but the anger
turned in on itself
i sit and wait
for nothing to change
i've known all along
and i blame myself

and it's nothing compared to you
it's nothing just another bruise
a scar will show
where i heal
but nothing marks
the way that i feel
it's reason enough
to stop and think
but i only stop
to pour out another drink

wash out the blood
left in the sink
switch out the lights
while i switch off my mind
i sit and wait
for reasons to leave
i've known all along
but i've never believed

and it's nothing compared to you
it's nothing just another bruise
a scar will show
where i heal
but nothing marks
the way that i feel
it's reason enough
to stop and think
but i only stop
to pour out another drink

Ooh, that's not a pretty poem. Hurting yourself causes more problems than it solves. Stay positive dude, keep writing, be mad at the world. Self-harm is not the way to go

yeah i've done the self destructive thing. i actually wrote most of that song whilst out of my head on vodka having got to the point of putting the knife to my wrists again, i didn't cut, i just cried and put the knife down. the lyrics are more of a personal catharsis.
i 've stopped drinking as well because i'm just an asshole on it these days.
on a more cheery note:

swapping spit
no romance
to keep you entranced
no cheesy line
to make you mine
everything'll be
just fine

video games
and growing pains
teenage lust
and foundered trust
too old for that shit
but you won't miss that hit
when we're
swapping spit.
