+<div class="cw">Self harm</div>
+
+<div class="verse">There is too much fire in me
+    to be described by the soldering iron's tip.</div>
+
+> I must not fear.
+
+<div class="verse">Were I to draw it across my skin,
+    it would all spill out at once.</div>
+
+> Fear is the mind-killer.
+
+<div class="verse">I'd melt, eaten whole by flames,
+    and flow into a pool of molten glass.</div>
+
+> Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
+
+<div class="verse">Sublimation would claim me,
+    atoms would scatter, diffuse.</div>
+
+> I will face my fear.
+
+<div class="verse">I would be borne up through the clouds,
+    and grow lighter by the second.</div>
+
+> I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
+
+<div class="verse>All that energy poured to the air around me,
+    an imperceptible increase in temperature.</div>
+
+> And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
+
+<div class="verse>Particle would excite particle
+    until I'm felt only as warmth on your face.</div>
+
+> Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
+
+<div class="verse">But even that would not be enough.</div>
+
+> Only I will remain.
