Sometimes I scratch and pinch and scratch and squeeze
I scratch until the bumps are level even if
that means I shave off layers of my skin
with my own fingernails until it bleeds.
I scratch and scratch and bleed and scratch
and think, hah. nothing better as a sign
of work well done than blood.
Now looking in a mirror is a fight to not
reach up and once I start I can not stop I scratch
until there's nothing left to scratch and then
I sigh with satisfaction and a damaged face
I stand and look and scratch until it hurts
I know it hurts and bleeds and sometimes scars but hah
at least I think at least the bumps are gone
Gone until the very next

Unfortunately it's not restricted to mirror, but also when I'm bored or have nothing to do with my hands.

I totally, totally get the same way. I catch myself scratching at my bumps whenever my mind is occupied but my hands aren't, it's an awful habit to try and break. I KNOW I get less when I leave them alone but I JUST CANT DO IT. GAH.
