Demolitions Expert

by DKY

I'm a demolitions expert of renown Star of the show, the talk of the town A destroyer of worlds they say Or at the very least a destroyer of one Voices rang inside my head When things were good in my life The urge to sabotage, the want to destroy The desire to go off-course, the desire to stop It has been there for as long as I can remember Guiding me to the dark path More often winning than being ignored It was something I blamed for the way things are But that was just me, my subconscious, my insecurity Molding my decisions to be as suboptimal as possible I need to accept, and got to learn accountability Face the consequences, and fix the broken crucible I want to destroy no more, for destruction is already here Already suffering for the mess I have made What I thought I deserved, I definitely do not Now I have to make do with what little I have left Let it stand as a lesson, let it stay as a warning Beware when you light the fuse and watch the sparks They may shine beautifully, but they are searing to the eyes And if you do continue, give the big boom my regards

Notes

Self-destruction and sabotage is a struggle some people cope with daily.

One way or another some people think that they don't deserve all the good things that go their way. So they do some action, or enact upon a decision that will harm the self in ways beyond the physical.

Then shit happens.

There's also the self-fulfilling prophecy of some people thinking they deserve bad things, and do get them one way or another. The law of attraction is a bitch.

By some people, that includes me. Self-awareness is a pain that one must endure.
