The Queen of Self Sabotage

Pleasure and pain 
Closely related
Weirdly uncoordinated

I run toward pain 
thinking it is pleasure
Until Bam 
It slays me
Chops off my head
Rolls my dendrites down 
Reality hill

I profess to despise
Pain and yet why do I
go kicking and screaming
wailing and dying into
situations that would give
me pleasure? Creating pain
where there did not have to be
any?

I am the queen of self sabotage.
