Re: Is this self harm -

I think that yes, this would be self harm. Self harm can be described as anything that you do to yourself to inflict pain as a way of coping or handling what is going on around you. Since you are punching yourself, even without leaving bruises, you are using a means of physical pain to cope with what is going on, so it would be self harm.
This is a link to a list of alternatives to self harm, which are healthier, safer ways to cope with what is going on. I'd recommend trying some of these out, they're better. 
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
