Dermatillomania
Clawing at my cheek
Scabs curl under my torn nails
Heal again, better
Training my body
With every wound reopened
To repair itself
Partly surgical
Partly frantic and desperate
Dig below the pain
Every physical
Flaw can be redone, regrown
It won’t hurt this time
One thought on "Dermatillomania"
