I’ve burned my own soul’s ocean
Ravaged the forests of my mind
Stabbed at my spirit
Shot at my heart
I have dragged my body
Through thickets of thorns and blood
Bled myself from all my skin
Burned my body from within
I have emptied the rivers of my life
Polluted my mind with reasons and hurts
Stolen away my own sanity
Drugged myself in escape from reality.
I have driven myself down that lonely road
Pushed by my own sadness over the brink
Secluded my thoughts in my soul
Left them to fester and burn.
I have taken myself to the edge of this life
Flooded my body with woundless scars
And since I have lived at this edge
I now wish for the impossible strength to return.
