#destroying
I’m full of love! It is inside me! It’s huge like the Pacific Ocean: Complete, horizonless and deep. My love is kinglike as an ocean. It can be never swum across, Won over or comprehended. You can be pleasingly present in it Or easily got killed or disappeared. And maybe love is like the Andes: Spanless, unbroken, unfathomed. If you are nearby the Andes, They’ll overwhelm you by its greatness. My love will doubtlessly give A shelter to a wounded heart. It won’t reproach, play foul, betray. It makes no odds who you just are. It’s difficult to carry love, Without dropping and destroying. I try to save it anyway From mean abuse and full dishonoring.

I'm full of Love
I brought you to the secret garden Where I acquire inner peace Where I am finally myself And can escape from everything I trusted you enough To reveal that I am weak That I made myself a garden To distract me from my feelings But after walking through my meadows And now realizing I was free You became overtaken in darkness And began chopping down my trees You destroyed everything I made Until there was nothing left for me You corrupted all my plants And transformed them into weeds I still marvel at the hopelessness That you brought up onto me And I regret in having trust That you would offer some relief To accept that I'm only human And can sometimes fail at things But I suppose it is a stretch To assume you're not a freak I mean after everything between us I do not expect an apology Cause in the grand scheme of things We allowed our forests of solace to freeze Together.

Secret Garden.
I take my prescribed pills with an energy drink Monster energy if your wondering And it's always the zero-sugar version Because the sugar will rot my teeth. I’m constantly on the verge of healing and destroying myself Like a seesaw that's perfectly balanced I am fed up with breaking my hand And then bandaging it up myself. I am my own executioner and doctor all in one body The healing in the midst my own self destruction I am the silence before an explosion The calm before the storm.

UNSTABLE
My heart is full of love I try so hard to fit in And it seems to go alright. But here I am again Alone And yet another night goes by. My mind is always telling me That I don't belong. I need something to numb the pain. So here it is This ****** Lost in this darkness And I'm Sick as **** When will i stop? I try my hardest EVERY SINGLE DAY. I still can't seem to be ok. When will this all end?! I dont want to live like this any more. Restless legs, And needles stuck in my arms. Why cant I just stop this life, And began a new one. I'm begging myself to stop myself. I'm tired of this dark nightmare I want to stay all over again.. But you see the problem here is I like to feel dead. I numb all my thoughts and my sarrow Just By Getting High. Ive spent over half my life.. Just getting high. Drugs, drugs, and more Drugs. That's all I know.. White drugs. Brown Drugs. Clear drugs, rough Drugs, Good Drugs And Bad Drugs. They Come And Go. I Hate this life. I cant get my **** under control.   I can't just stop. Destroying myself. Trust Me IVE TRIED.

I try to do the best I can Yet everything still falls apart I end every day with the same problems Working their way through my heart Talk but you are distracted We never find a solution Stress poisoning the air around us We keep breathing in pollution Just keep ignoring the damage Acting like we are fine Blind to fact we are tiptoeing Dangerously on a thin line Me pretending that I don’t notice How close we are to the edge You don’t seem to mind the risk Associated with the ledge You listen You attempt to understand Why I live with such fear But can’t change the speed you move at Or switch into a lower gear Don’t hear my worried murmurs Cries fall upon ears rendered deaf If you continue wheeling and dealing Soon nothing will be left Destroying me one piece at a time As you throw your potential away Hoping in time you will see the truth Before it’s too late to stop decay

Before It’s Too Late
I romanticize the smell of cigs because I want destroying myself to be something beautiful and graceful.

How do you say, 'You make me want to die.' Without destroying someone?

You were my worst nightmare, dressed in all my favourite promises. You are my own succubi robed in Answered Prayers, Oh, Dear. I'll make a memory out of you.

[Self distruction]
Nothing is left to find We know it all The explorers are dead Nothing is magical anymore We already know where we are going And we're not leaving We're conciled to this part of the Universe which we've already managed to destroy The heat has arrived, to    torch our land and it's too      late Now Hell comes to us. -------------------------- AHB |  9.08.2018.

The dust that lay on the page that I left open long ago is now a page on it’s own, with a story its own. I look at it and read negligence and loneliness. I read how things are forgotten so easily and how things are treated as things by people who live their life accumulating things and rest half of it misplacing, destroying, replacing and forgetting them. How people are treated on similar lines but worse. How we come back to claim our possessions when they can clearly exist better without us.

Better Without Us
By loving him I allowed him entering holy parts of my mind building himself an empire in my centre to only start playing war in it destroying all I had built up for so long

Gone.
I gave a flame to the leaves, and watched it caress the branch. It burned through the hard green candy, and fed its addiction with the peeling bark. I couldn't understand how something could look so enticing, yet use its power to mute the most grounded of screams. Nature was a ****** and a murderer. It replenished and destroyed. The flame vanquished the poor shrub, Eating away the hope of ever growing, and I realized; We lived by nature, we lived for nature. We are nature and nature is us. We destroy ourselves with our combustible flames, melting our bodies like wax candles in a wooden cabin.

An iconoclast. Destroyer of images. Executioner of text worshipers. Without a star to guide us, drifting aimlessly. The unworthy gone, and banished from existence. Crushed into splinters under the pressure of their reflections, much too heavy to carry. I saw heaven once. I clawed at an angel's wings. Almost beautiful.

"Paper Mirror."
I am fire, Glowing, Blazing, Growing. You are water destroying me, drowning me. He is wind, Helping Me Grow, Pushing You Away. I am fine, Living, Moving, Learning. You are nothing, nothing to me, nothing for me. He is mine, Supporting Me, Loving Me. I am happy, My Life Full of Love, Success. You are gone, never even a thought until now. He is with me, By My Side, Holding Me Up. I am fire, Glowing, Blazing, Growing.

Fire
It strangles in it's hold It suffocates with it's presence It sits on my chest and I wheeze with the effort of Breath In out, choking It holds me at night, cold, clawing darkness The bed partner that goes nowhere Infiltrating my mind filling it with Pain pain pain It steals the grin right out from under me with the thoughts running through Unstoppable, unbearable Constant, comfortable, normal Destroying me one piece of mind and body at a time It's all lies It's all truth It's all fear

Fear- a distressing emotion aroused by danger, pain etc.
I write because it feels right in the process of writing I am creating something the Divine spark lives in me and comes to life in the act of creation even during my darkest suicidal hours, I could not abandon poetry and art. the act of creating and destroying saved me the process of writing is like my life I build and destroy, and in the process try to grow from the experience
