I wonder if this is a better version than the first draft I wrote below ~P:

Emotions come quickly
Circling around grey matter,
Like racecars whipping on path
Revolving together, closely.
Emotions lose their path
Just as racecars often do,
Bombarding, fighting together
Slamming against the skull.
The brain hurts, just as the man
suffers in the car lost of control.
Feelings struggle, run wildly rampant,
Inside the fragile shell of thoughts-
Persisting fight continues as emotions collide.

Take away these emotions
With another scar of self harm.
Emotions pour down - lie heavy on heart,
Like the driver who hammers down on the
pedal, rubber pressed at full throttle,
Forcefully through winds of turbulence.
The feelings can be displaced and drift away-
With a slice, a slam, a burn-
Emotions are released, transformed into
Throbbing physical pain, pleasingly visible
As the brain has suddenly forgotten,
And the racecars stop for a moment,
Just for a moment in time, before emotions return.

i love learning how everyone deals with life, whether it's a supposed negative or positive, i believe that's the only way i can learn anything at all, but that can't happen without honesty, and this poem isn't afraid to be honest, i enjoyed it
