Insidious

 

The insidious nature of it

Will make you sort out

How to best achieve your

Goals to injure yourself

Without anyone knowing.

 

It'll make you sneaky around

Your loved-ones, make you

Devise the perfect isolation

So you'll not be interrupted

While you attack yourself.

 

It'll make you believe warped

Notions that all of this is justified

And even at some point make

You believe death would be the

Preferable outcome after all.

 

The insidious nature of it

Will make you succeed at failing,

It'll take everything until there's

Really nothing left of you to take.

Its only goal is to make you die.

 

And with so many close calls,

No doubt it will some day win.

A much more horrifying tale than any Halloween story.

This piece speaks to me of self harming, as a former nurse I’ve seen this and the reasons behind the action are complex. The title is perfect and maybe for different reasons than my thoughts.
