Two Steps Back

by Avellana   Jun 16, 2006


Self destructive patterns
I try so hard to stop
Why is it that I hate so much?
I feel how my soul rots

The core of me is dying
And no one beside me knows
This fight has gone on too long
But this break down never shows

Revulsion ripples through me
I can't stand my skin
My flesh, my bones, my muscles
I just wanted to be thin

Determinations lost on me
I'm weak and feel I'm dying
It's shocking how no one sees
Or cares, that I am cracking

Riddled with this wretched disease
That won't ever let me go
Is it selfish to wish yourself to fall?
Feel your wasteful heartbeat slow?

I'm running fingers along the edge
To feel the sting and ache of pain
It's stupid to think I hurt myself
Just to feel alive again

I actually feel I'm giving over
Myself to this disease
It's gutted me, hollowed me out
Promised me I would be free

Please god; give me a new disorder
Give me something I can fight
Distract me from my thoughtless life
And dreams of suicide
