Reflecting on the flaws that Might as well be parasites I realize the amount of effort it will take to demolish them I slink down Down to the floor And the tears they fly Everything from the past, present issues, and future problems already conceived Contemplation over heating and exploding Hitting myself with the shrapnel Not regretting a single bit of it Reality sinking in Of how alone I have caused thyself to become Of how deep I have really gotten Once again the amount of effort is remembered And the challenge is accepted I choose to live that day and since, I have had to make the same decision many times The effort being put in The temporary "bliss" becomes an addiction The memories floating away Effort being forgotten And the shrapnel returns
