Self-Destruction
I seem to be in the mood for self-destruction
-just following the example my brain sets
as it slowly breaks itself apart-
Let me procrastinate:
on that application, on that project, on my writing
stress myself out until I explode
Let me degenerate into a smelly mess
because I can’t will myself to act clean
when my mind refuses to be clean
Let me eat till I puke
(Cause that’s what he tells me to do)
even though I’m never hungry
Let me wallow in emotions so deep
so very strong
so poignant
I drown
Let me be swallowed into myself
Maybe someday I’ll come around again
