Support, Information & Expression: Daily life with self-injury

Lightness

The sun is dancing on the grass today
Rays of light
Spinning round and round
Like a young child playing

No pain inside today
Dancing patterns
A smile on the boy’s face
So light he’s flying

They can’t catch him today
Eyes shiny with laughter
Invisible, faster than sound
He’ll never stop fighting
