Best Self Destruction Poems


Self-Pity Is Self-Destruction
I just realized here I am looking down on myself. Literally living off my own self-pity. 
Drowning myself with my memories of all the people  who have hurt me .I was literally 
sitting in a pool of my own self-pity. Me that’s all ...

Mental Self Destruction
Demolish your demons, demolish the pain.

Enlarge your smiles, happiness you will gain.
 
Slaughter the evil, inside your mind.

This makes you feel better, I think that you'll find.

Ruin the agression, keep peace in your head.

Understand the problem and be civil instead.

Calmness around others, even if you...

Long ago in the not too distant future, whence temporal tense was but a phase,
I found myself afloat inside my head, from where I feared I'd fall within its haze.

Trapped by the door on the ceiling of my cranium's oubliette, 
Where light had broken yonder...

Self Destruction
Having surpassed the ides of March. 
Denounced the the baneful glare.
Yet my grief befriends Sanity.
Doctrine of hate preached from
Pulpits and podiums.
Marathon of the arms race.
Humans of another race are dispensable. 
Creation of art in flesh and blood.
My heart is compelled to dwell.
In poems that rhymes...

Self Destruction
Tell them oh! sun
Why your rays fall harsh
Making global warming.
Tell them of desertification
Melting of the arctic
They know not my language.

Ask them why the green gas
Why industrial smoke ?
Speak oh! sun.
Let us all learn
Complain oh! sun
Someone must listen.

Speak oh! rain
Tell them why you flood
And why you...

Self Destruction
Self destruction
my one true enemy
stands before me 
bold & blatently

Open warfare
on this battle ground 
of me
fighting against my morals
and all humanity.

an open bottle on the floor
one pill to ease the pain
I begin to self destruct
I see and know
I live my life in vain.

I continue on...

The Art of Self-Destruction
I am the queen of self destruction.
Ritualistic Razor sharp scrutiny of my reflection -
constantly spewing hate at my mid-section, 
whilst effortlessly faking the pursuit of perfection. 

A crumbled up heart beckons restitution in the midst
of train-wrecked relationships,
ruinous friendships,
and crumbled up to do lists,
in white-knuckled fists....

Self-Destruction Short
This mess in mirror 
Reflects no shimmer
He claims to see in
her eyes
While her eyes are
dry now
She not knows how to
shake this.
Yet this mischievous
miss
Misses herself she
does not know how to
change this
It aches within and
shakes about
bubbling up her
spine
She sits thinking in
herself sinking
telling herself
she's fine
Showing off crooked
smile she’s...

Self-Destruction
How many times
Must she destroy herself,
Before she runs out of pain?

How many times 
Must she cry to herself,
Before she's lost to sadness?

How many times 
Must she starve herself,
Before she runs out of self-hate?

How many times 
Must she blame herself,
Before she's lost to madness?

Self-Destruction
What is to become of mankind if humans refrain from being refined?
Are we headed for self-destruction in this world full or moral seduction?

Why are there always lies and excuses?
The flames on the bombs burn quick on their fuses

A life can be sad for an innocent...

Self Destruction Fantasy
 I want it all to end.
 Give me death.
 Give me the end.
 Show me the dark path. 
Give me the salvation.
 Break my hands and F me 
from behind slit my throat and open my guts
Feed me my own liver and drink me...

Self Destruction
Self destructive, even writing on pages without lines feels chaotic and liberating 
even though I know the frustration I will feel as my words slope downwards, down 
words. They angle, pitching against my embedded need for order and yet I fight 
them I struggle to...

Self Destruction
No matter how hard I try
My tears won't dry
Try,try...try  until you die
I motivate myself

Even when I act good
The response is always rude
I have done what I should
Acted good,good...good

I was dumb now I talk
With friends I walk
In neighbours doors I knock
Was mute just let me...

I ate myself the other day
Unhinged my jaw and chomped away
No crumb was left after I dined
No limbs, or head, or crooked spine 
Each bite I took was bittersweet 
Laced with love and shamed defeat
I didn't even say goodbye 
To all I loved and held...
