Destruct Poems | Examples


Premium MemberSet To Self-Destruct

No man nor beast can survive,
In a climate meant to deprive.
Barren of hope and loss of scope,
Where no one gets out alive.

Seeking a place to reside,
Full of contempt and pride.
You've followed a path, guided by wrath,
That destroys the goodness inside.

Lost in a forest of shame,
Looking for someone to blame.
Blinded by fears and drowning in tears,
Will mark the end of the game.

All that remains is a shell,
Now a prisoner bound in Hell.
The death of dreams and nightly screams,
Left alone in an empty cell.

Don't you know you hold the key,
And the will to set you free.
It starts today, once you say,
This isn't who I want to be.

Self Destruct

Bad decisions are made... 
Clock starts ticking 

Hope begins to fade... 
Clock still ticking 

Love ones are ignored... 
Clock still ticking 

Even those you adored... 
Clock still ticking 

You look for others pity... 
Clock still ticking 

There’s none left in this city... 
Clock still ticking 

You continue without asking why... 
Clock still ticking 

Things would turn around if you try... 
Clock still ticking 

You ignore good advice... 
Clock still ticking 

Cling to anyone who is nice... 
Clock still ticking 

Upset with the consequences that flowed... 
Clock stops ticking 

And now.... 
You explode

Self Destruct

The quickness of action without serious thought or consideration
for what can become,
I sometimes feel like a man staring down the 
barrel of a gun, loaded and pointed by myself at myself,
no understanding of the start but fully aware of
the end result the terminal part,
the full blast of awareness that i,ve aimed for the heart,
taken pains to gain pain to hit with force to
late now to change course,
then to fully feel the reality of cold truth, 
that i,ve slipped again into realms of dark pain
destructive soul chain,
I pray to say sorry,
can I stop and start again.

Self Destruct

Oh so rapidly everything slips through your fingertips
Things so out of reach 
One moment you have it all
The next you just don't 
One second you're doing just fine
The next you're spinning into oblivion
One moment you have control
The next it's all lost 
Weeks pass, you still don't know the day 
You're on self destruct mode
There's no panic button
Just the self destruct
Oh so tempting. 
I'll just leave your hand hoovering.
