As a self preservation technique Convince yourself you lived up To your potential then watch meaning Seep out of the nothingness That is your existence Watch as who you might have been Rapidly fade into the distance Despite your feeble attempts To hold on to the remnants of yourself Look on as the maggots of hope And revitalisation eat away Your rotten skin Maybe just maybe you will be perfect Accept defeat Open up your decaying arms Embrace the never-ending despair Combine your self-awareness With your insecurity and lack of self confidence Overanalyse yourself over and over again and again Until you become a stranger to yourself Express yourself in other ways than Bursts of meaningless phrases Live the rest of your days Kneeling on bleeding shins Being devoured by the  demons You created because you cherish them sometimes your poetry ***** You are just another broken soul In a sea of hopelessness The hopelessness That which you perpetuate It's not your fault You'll get there You won't always feel empty I have faith in you
