Living at the edge...huh?
What's it like when you're actually at the edge?
What's the emotion and thoughts going through your head
Having such control over your own life
Should I jump
Your mind wants to be satisfied
Will you beat the temptation and actually survive



Should I jump






*Or stay alive
I line up my pins
Stand back
Admire them
Just to knock them down
I brought it on myself
I let myself fall into a relationship where I knew I'd have to compete
With substances and others and ******* on the street
I brought this on myself
When I told them what I thought and finally opened my mouth
Only to be despised and insulted and thrown off the shelf
I brought this on myself
I got myself into a rut and complained about it
Until I finally did something, out of character, and burnt everyone else
There lies no sympathy in hell for someone no one cares to understand
Well I've given up
I'm done
Let the devil take my hand

I do not know how to feel,
I do not know how to function,
But at least I no-longer dream,
Of serious self-destruction.

I dream of living anxiety-free,
I dream of compassion, of care,
I dream of being able to breathe,
Without choking on fresh air.
Anxiety is gross, like even deep breaths can send me into panic attacks, it's mad. I've come far though!

Where there's water I'll drown
Where there's fire I'll burn
Where there's heights I'll fall
Where there's shelter I'll hide
Where there's comfort I'll cry
Where there's love I'll hurt
When you would rather turn to ritual suicide than fall into the arms of someone, who might have the power to break your heart into a million pieces.

Like sodium to
Water. Young and reckless with
Our hearts and ourselves.

Crying is not enough anymore. I'd like to swallow a knife or a burning candle.

A barren wasteland
Of fear, doubt, and regret
Uncertainty plagues the sand
A horrendous fate, that we have met.
society became its own destroyer
The catalyst of this hopeless future
There's time to change
But were consuming ourselves
All of us

And maybe the reason you feel this way is because it's so much easier for you to tear yourself down than it ever will be to hold yourself together. But darling, you can't keep destroying yourself forever.
Daniel Mashburn Oct 2014
Oh I looked for something better,
but these lines; they were so bitter.
I find that self-destruction is the latest trend on Twitter.
