I hate to hate myself but I know I can't control it To battle it To struggle against it is so exhausting That steady pulse against my fingers feels so strong So vital And I want to strike a match on my skin Drive a blade in Watch the sweet body nectar flow as if water from a river I imagine the ways in which I'd die If I drove a little faster on this curvy road of life To inch that needle higher Strike that sweet spot harder Feel the pain erase the numbing calm It's sad to feel this way When everything is so perfect Sad to feel insecure When nothing here is threatening Why can't I stop this thought line? The linear steps to burial Even if nothing physical The mental is killing me slowly.
