Pnumonia

Its animosity at it’s worst-
Pushing the boundaries between hatred,
And feeling tied to a wall.
It’s where you dig your hole of therapy,
And where my anger precedes any obvious interjection.
I repeat myself to convince myself,
And the irony is lost to even me.

You’ve watched your idols be stripped from their pedestals of self-indulgence,
Starting with an instance of self-absorbed love.
Banned by day, sub-human by night-
I paint on the disguise of therapeutic sides,
And slip into someone else’s skin.
New images, new friends, new fake façade,
Same old shit,
Stuffed into the same old hole,
In the same old ripped out, stripped out, hell.
So close to me, yet still so distant-
And I can’t bring you back.
So let’s set our hearts at self-destruct,
And watch them fade away.

    Awesome

    pneumonia Had to do it

    I really liked this- sorry I've been such a shitty friend lately, lol, got a lot on my plate and I'm sure you've been busy so We gotta chill soon. But anyway* I liked this, last two lines. Don't even know what to say but man I feel those words. Keep writing em and people will continue to love how you write.

    hmmm.....nice....I like the self-demise at the end. Rather fitting it seems, and rather true. It's a great write, keep it up!
