Self Destructive Poem by The Power_Palace.Poet_Union.Order Sir.

Self destructive, self destructive
A spiral of pain and despair
A battle within, constantly eruptive
A destructive force, beyond repair
It started out so innocent and pure
Just a lilting whisper in the back of my mind
But grew louder, a relentless lure
To a place of darkness, I was confined
Self destructive, self destructive
A fire that burns from within
A void that's deep and obstructive
A battle I can never win
At first, it felt like a little escape
A release from the world's demands
But gradually, it took on a different shape
A predator, with ravenous demands
Self destructive, self destructive
A cycle that I can't break
A path that's destructive
A relentless and unforgiving snake
I know it's harmful, I know it's wrong
But the pull is just too strong
It's like a siren's call, a haunting song
And I can't resist for long
Self destructive, self destructive
A poison that seeps in my veins
A monster that's all consuming and destructive
A monster that leaves nothing but stains
It's a constant battle, a never-ending war
Between my heart and my mind
But the self-destructive thoughts, they always lure
And it's a battle I can't leave behind
Self destructive, self destructive
A label that sticks to my name
A label that's destructive
A label that brings nothing but shame
The days blur into one, the nights grow longer
As I chase this self-destructive high
But the emptiness inside, it only grows stronger
As I slowly wither and die
Self destructive, self destructive
A path I can't seem to stray
A path that's destructive
A path that leads to decay
The pain is familiar, a constant companion
But it's all I've ever known
I am my own worst enemy, my own villain
And I can't escape this lonely throne
Self destructive, self destructive
A never-ending cycle of despair
A battle that's destructive
A battle that leaves me stripped and bare
I see the damage, I see the scars
And yet, I can't seem to stop
It's like an addiction, a prison behind bars
And I can't find my way out of this lock
Self destructive, self destructive
A darkness that consumes my soul
A force that's destructive
A force that has taken control
But somewhere deep inside, there's a flicker of light
A tiny spark that refuses to die
And I hold on to it with all my might
As I try to break free from this self-destructive lie
Self destructive, self destructive
A never-ending battle within
A force that's destructive
A force that I can't seem to win
But I'll keep fighting, I'll keep holding on
To that flicker of hope, that tiny flame
And one day, I'll break free from this self-destructive con
And I'll never again be the same.
Self destructive, self destructive
A label that no longer fits
For I am strong, I am not corrosive
And I'll break free from these self-destructive pits.
Self destructive, self destructive
A battle I'll never again allow
For I am resilient, I am productive
And I'll rise above, I'll take a bow.
