Punishment

im punishing myself for all the things i couldn't do
im cutting up my veins like ive got something left to prove
im crossing every line because im ready for a loss
and every second counts because ill die at any cost

Oooh! ...grim images!! Despair and desperation can lead us to consider death. I think it stems fro a lack of self respect and confidence... Neatly rhymed. God bless, Keith
