i cannot be defined by words, but by my actions, by the way i have two signs of destruction, the act of self-destruction or by shutting down on myself. in hopes of keeping these spontaneous combustions less erratic and vehement, lately, i've been donating my skin, replacing it with metal. maybe becoming a cyborg, makes me a different person, but it just makes me feel like a doomsday clock. my blood has been replaced with gun powder, my skin coated into titanium pallets, my words creates the ignition, set to go off. i've become an active volcano that hasn't made any progress in being active, and as much as i yearn to explode to you with these thoughts inside my head trickling in my thoughts like gasoline, my words become the lit cigarette to start a fire, my memory has fallen in love with the idea of you and the fact you could destroy my world just by ignoring me. but you don't. your heart stays active while mine is on standby. - kra
