Serenity

Such a smooth motion,
the silver slowly moves,
right across my canvas wrist,
its peace that I choose.

The glass quickly empties,
my head starts to spin,
the alcohol makes me dizzy,
it feels like a win.

The smoke fades away,
drag after drag,
i know it isn't healthy,
but it makes me want to brag.

I swing at them again,
i'm not quite sure why,
the violence is peaceful,
i used to wish to die.

the self destructive actions, 
they are not good for me, 
but they are what keeps me here,
they make me feel free.
