Clouded By Choice
What's goin on with this
an organized mess
tragic while impulsive
living the stress
robotic,when the auto-pilot's on
cutting oneself off from experience...
no lyrics
in your self-destructive song...

Nerdy Disease
This nerdy disease will bring me to my knees eventually
When all the hours spent have finally added up
I’ll have no other choice than to give up in life
This total lack of rest
Spent studying for a test
Is slowly leaving me weakened with time
All just a self-destructive pursuit to feed my mind...

Businessman
you continue to
just lie there
and dream
or something 
lay
le 
losing you
was so easy
when faced
with the truth 
of how
perfect it is
alone 
 
when seeking perfection
I have learned never
to underestimate
my own self destructive
tendency to fail 
at critical times
and I leave work realizing 
I am fighting 
the devil....

Earth Angel
Propelling through a self destructive whirlwind straight into the wolves den
There you are shining light my calm in the storm, my center, my zen
I sometimes swear you're living proof angels walk among men
Oh, how I long to see you again
If it's not if but, when
Until then...
I'll reach for you through the tip of my pen...

Nurture
A ticking time bomb
Full of chaos
Self destructive 
Nurturing for
Your empty soul
You're searching
For what will fill
The emptiness you feel
You will never find the
Truth with your eyes closed
Walking in darkness
You swallow the lies
You have been told
Living your existence
In blissful ignorance
Until it kills you...

Manic Depression
Manic-Depression

An illness that consumes me
Speaking endless lies to me
Misconstruing the world for me
Refusing to set me free
Binding me to self destructive tendencies 
Cheating me of what life could be
Supressing the love within me
Strengthening the anger buried inside of me
Distorting the truth right before me
Making me too blind to see...

Your Misery
You keep telling me
you want to change,
you want to feel happy,
peace,
better in so many ways.
Then why do you choose
to wallow in your pain?
Why do you choose
such self destructive ways?
I wish I could help you 
but I find myself stepping back.
Unfortunately,
Misery loves company...
and I won't let your misery 
try to make me it's company....

I'M Drowning
I can remember how I used to think about you
What you said to me effected me
good or bad
But we haven't really talked yet after the fact
All I feel is hurt and pain now
Which are making my tears

I don't know what to do
I listen to my music 
which somewhat helps
But I'm not going to be self-destructive over this
I can't 
And I'm trying to say...I won't?...

New York New York
Anchor me here in your harbor of hurt.
Say you're in love with me, but please make it curt.
The water is shallow the people are too.
In the very beginning it was just me and you.
My heart is half empty and there's no one to blame.
I did it all myself, in this self destructive game.
So as I lay dying here on the floor.
Do whatever you want just don't close the door....

Paradise Lost
Man's fall in the garden,
naked and afraid,
hiding from the beast inside.
Entangled within the vine,
yet you still roam free,
no end to the self destructive force inside of me.
Separated and cut off,
in the miry clay you lay.
Created in perfection,
made to rule but you rule not.
You find yourself undone,
self inflicted wound,
from the cradle to the tomb.
Paradise lost....

My Balance 1
without support
silent echoes and rumours
'did i hear that?'
tracing invisible paths 
through insubstantial material
no kindness
no direction

fatally incorrigible 
from fear 
walking is sitting
running is lying down
the passage of time ceases
i drift
like carbon monoxide

slow burning 
self-destructive
to one
to zero
without matter
without life;

without you.

Premium Member Oh Mind
Crunching, imploding, noisy head
You bother me so
I can't get my mind straight
Knowing what you know

Strangled and constricted 
Barely contained sense
Why is it so chaotic 
Troubled and tense

Ricocheting and reeling
Self destructive scheming
Whichever way I turn
Internal screaming

Does my brain tell my body
Does my body tell my brain
Why am I in the middle
Of this ridiculous game...

Premium Member Crazy
Confused by the cacophonous voices in my head,
Reason has been replaced with paranoia.
Alarmed by my self-destructive tendencies I am restrained,
Zipped into a strait-jacket of my own making.
Yielding to the voices clamor, I surrender myself to insanity.

am not self-destructive. Just so you know)...

Not Looking Deep Enough
It's not easy being the one who's never ready
while you lay, open,
naked of mind and soul,
chest split for easy reach.

I carve myself
a large canyon wound
through my middle.

I slide in a hand
and feel around for the answer
a selfish little demon
a skittish hunchback
a veracious loner
some self-destructive cog

After long nights
of careful disection,
still no answers are found,
only organs
older than myself....

All-Nighters
Self-destructive pursuit of life-long goals,
is how the story unfolds
Late nights,
gradually becoming early morning habits
Mental strife,
Accepting dedication and work instead of a social life
This exhaustion is a product of my own determined concoction 
An evil easily accepted if success results frequently
Though it may shorten length of life,
Though it may decrease overall happiness for the time being,
Eventually it will pay off,
and I shall be happier than any king...

Their Betrayal
It's here on the ground
That I lay broken and bruised
After my self-destructive fall
That when i looked for the ones I thought loved me
They were nowhere at all

So cut me because you hate me
Kick me while I'm down
Flush me like I'm vermin
Expect me just to drown

Betrayal is the scar thats cut deepest
Yet revenge is a taste that is sweetest
So far away locked in my hearts safe
I'll leave this wasted life behind me

Self Destructive Self-Defense Mechanism
Gorging upon self-indulgence
while your soul lies starving in the corner
Dissociatively liberated from consequence
as the host endures accountability

Psychotically clinging to a desirable fiction
(an accessible and depraved fantasy)
and basking in its soothing narratives
whenever the tangible becomes inconvenient

Dipping sporadically into a permeable
realm of artificial favorability
Detaching yourself from that which exists
to experience that which is merely theoretical...

Son of Babylon
A night of sinful seduction
Lust without protection
A self-destructive woman
and a one night stand
Baby’s conception
nothing more than a mistake
A slip in judgment 
A slight of chance
from one ill-fated
alcohol-born romance
She carries an unwanted child
Poor bastard son of Babylon
Your mother refuses to love you
Poor bastard son of Babylon
your father will never be there
Poor bastard son of Babylon
Once you’re born
the world shall scorn you
Poor bastard son of Babylon...

Premium Member Soldiers of World
This Country our home
We’ve been mocked and dethroned
Where once we could lean
Now to each to their own

Soldiers of World
We’re put to the test
Pushed to the front line
A domino effect 

If you fail you’re replaced 
The Earth still moves
But to look into their eyes
Your choice, you choose

A self destructive axis
Does this world tilt 
More blood shed
More blood spilled

And so we keep building 
Another nail in our Hell
We need not War
We’ve destroyed us ourselves.....

Eternia
Multitudes of things created by names

Beyond names is the nameless cause of effects

Know yourself to know everything

Understand your masculinity

Protect your femininity

Integrating passivity with creativity

Be opaque like muddy water with a tough sink to the bottom

Be receptive like a valley with a flexible rise to the top

Be harmonious with the complexity of wholeness 

Be connected with the entirety of creation

Be stabilized by order or self-destructive.by force...
