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.

guy-ann from GUYANA The PoetBay support member heart!
well, if you regret being born on this planet, one of the consequences of this way of seeing your life is to hate yourself and your life...
maybe I am no to the point about your poetry, I remarked that I am not always right on the spot about my comments on your poetry, maybe too much self-esteem....cheers!
