My Life In Seconds

In my eyes
So beautiful and amber brown
You saw the blood dripping down my cheeks
Like mountain dew drops.

In my heart
So genial and benevolent
You saw the pains hidden in my pride 
And tearing me apart.

In my words
So soft and soothingly amazing
You heard dejection, insecurity
And rumors of suicidal tendencies.

In my life 
So divine and healthful
You saw that I'm dying to live
When I'm just living to die.
