#shootme
If someone would ask me if I would rather be shot or have my heart broken. I would say “shoot me”because i would rather die than have my heart broken. having your heart break into the smallest pieces once, is enough for me. They say time heals your wounds so tell me why then doesnt mine heal?

Shoot Me
It's right there In a perfect little bow tie but my own desperate, clambering need to be the first to get there leaves me with nothing All that's left now is the shredded remains.. Scraps -- from which no nourishment can be salvaged. No morsel contained. (It is in this moment I realise the terror that resides within myself) Haunting my endeavours, creeping up and into my personal life... Weaving it's sickness as a woven quilt to my very skin! Exposed for all to see Somehow mortally wounding. My need for absolution is blinding in a frantic and overwhelming kind of way...   I try to fight it but this weakness is unyielding in it's quiet persistent insistence Like subliminal messages at times it stems seemingly from nowhere-- Polluting the hopes and dreams of those who love me I feel that I am always improving. (Or at least trying to...) Striving for a better life But I feel faulted inside... A mistake or flaw now too deeply buried to bring to cessation... It's unresolved conflicts still taking toll on my personal affairs Still feeding it's sickness back into me... I feel weak but somehow complete Lost but not yet alone... And I think for just a moment before it passes that maybe things are not so fleeting? But come the end of the day I know It must just be me... Why wouldn't it be? I ruin it for myself...
