#selfdestructive
You wanted me quiet- A flicker in the dark, Something trilling You wanted a spark I was your secret, Easier to keep alone Because secrets rots, When kept for too long You wanted my all, my devotion You paced around it, like a dare Like a truth, not to be shared You don't think I feel, But it's all I felt Yet I stayed silent, I am my own personal hell I self sabotage Knowing you wouldn't care I didn't not want you, You just wanted- What can never be fully touched Never to be fixed, And never undone.

A spark
The intrusive thoughts They call out to me Whispering In my ear To take the axe And ****** the first person nearby They consume my brain Once I pick up a pair Of scissors My thoughts Once full of the intention of cutting up a crocheted pear Now reduced to one With the sole intent To cover myself with super **** scars They colonize They mineralize They reorganize They way how My nerves And brain functions They tell me Everything is fine When I do mere cat scratches At my thighs and arms They tell me to do more And everything will be okay They tell me Everything is their fault anyway They're the reason why I'm doing it The stings Fall away And they keep encouraging Telling me to try to cut deeper With a dull blade The axe The axe is telling me to release my anger Onto someone Someone that deserves Getting an axe Thrown at their head It's telling me I'm not going to be a danger To society Or myself If I follow It's command These thoughts Are begging to see Blood Even though I'm scared to see The blood I'm scared to see the insides of humans Yet somehow I manage To let them see some blood One way Or another From begging for me To be punching holes In the walls To making me want to slit my own throat And call it a day They help me By letting everything go by They provide me And help me see That everything is going to be fine They remove most of my struggles And blame it on someone else They reassure me Like no one else can They're like a leech Yet, I still love them

Impure is what she's come to be Her hands are stained with her own blood She swallowed the venom you fed her She grasped it untill her mouth flood Like a vicious tumor, She let it invade her body She tried to numb the pain Yet her hands were still ****** She let you **** the life out of her veins And within her ribcage, dig a hole In which a rotten heart remained, In the place where there once was The purest lilly of them all Now she's just an empty shell Of a departed soul

"Devourer of Innocence"
When I'm left to myself My wrists tingle And I vividly see what it would like like To scratch and scratch, until blood flowed like a river To pry my nails from my body, with a squelching sound To pull my teeth with pliers, feeling the roots' empty place To stab pencils into my thighs, and leave them in the contracting muscles To pour acid down my back, and feel it burning and bubbling and the tissues peeling off To scoop out my eyes, and finally be blind to the world, with crimson tears running down my face

Self Destructive Thoughts
Save me from my remnants, That flake away From my soul. Bury me alive, Away from those Who draw me in so easily. An emotional scratching post To them is all I ever was, Reach inside My hollow chest And finish what they started, For I am nothing but a seed Traversing this Barren dirt, Left only to My dire thoughts, Taking slowly my life essence. The clouds, they overcast this True face with a Gilded mask, As I'm left to Scream beneath it, Oh, save me from my remnants.

What’s Left
i am shattering like glass as everything around me slips away reality fragmenting, i reach to grab shards sharp enough to slit my own wrists i return to tendencies of self destruction like returning to an abusive ex because even when things are bad there is comfort in the familiarity pain. — dis(comfort)

i am shattering like glass
"WHY THE HELL DO YOU DO THIS?!" I love it. I love biteing my bold red, silent white fingertips till they snap off like hot glass, and baby this might scare the **** outta you but I love the feeling of my blood when it melts into the floor, I'm not gonna stop just because your pounding on my door. The feeling of my heart tearing it apart is the only thing that I feel to live and live to feel. And no, I don't love you, but I love the feeling you give me when I'm forced to cut my hair because you think it's ******* ugly. Yeah baby tell me I'm ugly!! Let's go to the store and i'll walk into the street, to get that half smoked cigarette I saw thrown out of a car window. And you can pull me away but that won't do **** i'll fall into you and we'll both tumble off a bridge.... right into the snow, you saved me you know? I'll tear out my eyes so I don't have to watch you go. i love this feeling of sinking in sorrow, as **** spews from my mouth to make Room for tomorrow. Sit in bed late at night, get bored, start a fight. Break a window punch a wall just say **** it to it all. I'll hit my head on the stone till I'm hella ****** When someone tries to help make them hate you till they leave you alone. I hate me too, yeah its self destructive, but that ***** just what I love so who gives a **** Oh look, now I'm alone, in the pool at my home, I made of glass on the floor, whail ghosts are pounding on my fuking door GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THAT DOOR!! LL JUST BLOW THAT **** UP!!! **** it all, my family,my friends, my school, my love i dont care just **** it all I JUST WANNA BE ALONE, LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE. IN A room full of static that I call my home. Just leave me alone, I deserve to be alone.

Only liars deny the ambition to go fishing for what they want. The craving, the need, the haunting desires only places you on a self-destructive and burning pyre. You yearn for more, twisting on a mission, wishing for the glistening gold of what you’re owed. To move, to improve, on your flaunts for yourself is such an everlearning taunt of wealth. Well, when your well doesn’t get any higher and the Sun’s hell ceases to tire, emptiness befells the commission and buyer. You’d sire more just to gain more, but wouldn’t look towards your neighbors implore? You would even bore through foreign floors until it's all missing. Toes tucked and turning, mouth foaming, you're an overzealous fiend for more earnings. Your hives don’t die and you keep twitching. Your heart keeps spinning the lies through your sleek grinning and only the drive to buy is what keeps you alive.

Needing to Want
I drown myself in alcohol, So my brain cant think at all. I wasted most nights all alone. Searching for a feeling i call my home. But nothing is mine to own. They say, Stop feeling broken and sour. So i drown myself in pills and liquor, Cuz for me that's only working cure. Even the music cant help no more, Small wooden box, my deathwish, my final decor.

Allure
I'm lost inside a labyrinth, With its ever changing paths. One minute you're near escaping, The next it's altered all again. A never ending nightmare Thinking it knows what's best for you, But it's lies are imbedded deep within And there's nothing more that you can do. My mind is like a tornado, Destroying everything in its path. One day I'm simply surviving The next, I wish I was dying. I'm terrified of my mind For I fear it can make me do. Self-destructive, hypocrite of pain and love Beckoning me to hurt once more because that's all I deserve.

Afraid of Myself
Haha There’s no empathy in me So sweet of you to notice I don’t ******* care My heart is a gaping hole A void you can’t fill And to feel something I’ll hurt you I’ll watch you bleed To amuse myself And cut my own skin To feel something more Because I’m not a good person Don’t get me wrong here I am not okay And I’ll drag you to Hell Right along with me

Fair Warning
I starve myself Because the intense growl in my stomach is the only time something tells me it cares about me I take freezing showers that make it hard to breathe Because it's the only time I fight to stay alive I read past conversations of my heart getting broke Because it's the only time I can control when I cry I fake happiness for those around me Because I'd rather hide my pain than my peers to pretend to care I isolate myself from everything Because it's the only time that I am the only one who can hurt me I'm stuck in a depressive paradox; the only way for me to survive my pain is to make my own

Depressive Paradox / Only Time
Today I reached for you With a kind of virtue And sincerity pressed behind the design on my lips Little realizing I was still reviling Within my current remiss I went and sinned again darlin' There's little to do for recompense, and so cordially I professed to you all of my candid truths With every intent To avoid becoming uncouth and elusive Because... I do miss you And I suppose I well knew... You don't feel the same I could feel it the instant you responded Not the least bit concerned Which was well deserved Leaving me completely despondent I need you to remind me Just how lost my heart has become And what that has cost anyone Trying to reach for me When I become undone Somewhere in between the real desire to reignite whatever fire had transpired between us With a new flame Lay my hidden ulterior motive Even I believed we would achieve Something constructive Yet my devious mind Deceived even myself To harness this abject, self-destructive desire Call me by my real names: Heartless. Narcissist. Liar. Coward. Creep. Thief of catharsis. Remind me of the same feeling Delivered in your own unique way Because I can't stand To let myself ever forget again This pain in my chest Is everything to remain It's all I have left

Sins of the Self Destructive
everything is so messy, i feel this aching pain when i'm at home, and when i'm out with friends i feel lonely. my mind feels like my bedroom, a right off. sure, you can tell me to clean it and i can try, i can want to clean it but no matter how many times i shove that ***** laundry back into a pile; and no matter how many times i throw everything out, it all comes back out sooner than later. i crave a tidy life, i tidy mind and a tidy room, but it's so hard to keep up with. i would rather let sleep cradle me in it's gentle arms for the rest of the day, and do it tomorrow. though, tomorrow never comes and thus my room and my mind stay the same. a vicious, but comforting cycle. i like it when things stay the same, i like it more than i should. all i've had my whole life is change, now i find comfort in static, i find comfort in knowing what's going to happen tomorrow. i find comfort having routine even though the cycle i'm in is destructive and makes me hate myself, it's hurtfully comforting. that doesn't make any sense but here's something that might, feeling something is better than feeling nothing negative or positive maybe that's why i stick around you. you don't help me clean, if anything you make even more of a mess, but that keeps the routine going. i'll clean tomorrow. then turns into tomorrow. then tomorrow. then tomorrow. then...

she who could not carry the weight of the world.
I feel like a waste of time My stomach boils with pink pills Eyelids droop- I pry them open To drink words I thirst for Taste worlds I yearn for Sludge pools in from the bitter thoughts Soaking soaks- soaking sponges Run and drain out the membrane Everything is all too much I seem to never be good enough

self destructive, I will destroy myself until nothing but a charred carcass is left. When I stand back up again I burn myself to the ground in a calamitous blaze. Taking actions that have strings attached, that are just waiting to go up in flames. But I will keep on going until my fragile marred world built around me implodes. The shattered shards of my world explode They cut into my flesh rip it to shreds, my blood flowing is the only reminder that I am not dead That I am in fact human But I don't stop the flow, it cascades down a formidable waterfall my destruction is complete. First of the mind then of the physical form, For years pain held me deluded Finally my inevitable cataclysmic end has concluded.

Self destructive
As those words ran out of his mouth Toppling over eachother She could feel the roof cave in She saw the walls push toward her She heard the screams “Are those mine? His?” She screamed louder Felt like crying, but no tears came out Her rib cage collapsed onto her lungs The very thing they are meant to protect The walls and ceiling seemed to disappear Her vision and hearing went hazy Until she saw nothing Heard nothing She could feel the screams in her throat No noise came out At least not one audible to her She felt him grab her arm She pushed him off She tried to yell for him to leave The whole place collopsed Leaving her there alone In the mess she created

Constantly being accused that I don’t care Consistent with my bargain of the deal What’s with these folks Up I am and fighting the masses Struggling with my mind Is it too much to ask to be and feel appreciated No one does what they say But I am to obey Losing my grip on reality I am broken from fear and shame Don’t judge me I am against pain And that is beating me Tearing into my soul Going on without a thought I continue to smile behind the mask
