SELF-DESTRUCTION: PART ANGEL

I am the fire in your soul

I am the self you can’t control

I am the violence in your brain

I am the low you must sustain

I am the dancer on your wood

I am the know

You think you should

My mind and body tear your soul

I am the self you can’t control

I am the sprinter in your blood

I am reality undone.

“I am the colors; I’m the leaves

I am the roots beneath the trees

I am the protestor of war

I am the light upon your door.”

I am the “stain” believed “insane”

I am the mended, hate-fueled vein

I am the child inside, alive

I am the truth behind your lies

I am the self you can control

I am the highway of the past

I am a rustling blade of grass

I am the half-filled water glass

I am the needle in the trash.
