Hypodermic halo hanging by a thread,
You're pale and your life is wearing
thin between the lies you spread.
Just let the world collapse around you,
shattering your everything.
You're not the martyr that you think,
Your words are rotting in your mouth.
Its time you crawled back to your cave
To sleep in ephemeral peace.
You're blinded by your own delusion,
Afraid to realize the truth.
You'll never see the beauty in
The moment when you're breaking down.
Just break down, my little one
Let it go and fall asleep
When all you want and all you need
Have left your reach for evermore
And no more hope or strength remain,
Your fire burned to ashen shame
Then nothing more will remain
To cause you hurt or bring you pain
Truly
numb
shall
you
remain

Scary thing is, I think this was actually self-reflective and I didn't even realize it... Let me know what you think, I haven't posted in a long goddamn time!

That's true you haven't- and you've been missed. so, let me be the first to say, this is one of your betters. My favorite lines are the ones you advertised in your 'sneak peek'.
"You'll never see the beauty in the moment you're breaking down"
My only criticsm is that I think it might sound better if you made it more concise. Perhaps "the moment you break down"? Just a suggestion.
Love and Light
