I'm not in control

I can't stop

I don't want to destroy myself
But my hands, they do

I yell and scream
Try as I might
I cannot stop

My hands won't listen to me
They are not mine

Please stop tearing me apart
Please stop the pain
Please stop destroying this body of mine
This poem is about a type of BFFB disorder known as Skin Picking Disorder. I feel rather uncomfortable talking about this topic other than what it's about, so I would appreciate it if you don't ask questions about my struggles with it personally.

Smoke to a fire is her words to me,
her words are the embers that sting my skin-
causing pain to be only what I feel,
she is my heaven and my hell.

Her hands guide mine with destruction;
gentle- yet so lethal with intention ,
I love her, she despises me with the same passion-
will I ever get over her?
