drowning in my blood

By xserratedsoulx



Perfectionism
Pierces the soul,
Lets it slowly bleed to dead,
Savoring the suffering that's
Mingled with the Red
Self-Hatred's insalable fury,
Enjoys this torture, too,
Watching with intense pleasure
What Destruction Knew
Lungs are full of Blood-thirst,
Torture is their air,
And satisfying more than food
Is the Criticizing Glare
Exciting is this punishment,
A self inflicted flood, I'm
Killing myself with
Expectations,
I'll
Drown in My Own Blood

    Wow....I think this is what everyone does, despite whatever they say...everyone wants to live up to their expectations, and yet the hunger to live up to them is killing them. Good write.

    this is a very intense piece , i really like it. as for the comment you left on one of mine... yes the sentence is saying it's not just about being alive.. meaning it's not just about existing.. it's about making the most of your existence.
