Self Abused

This begins with a broken man and his tears

This is a man finally tired of living

He is ready to give up, to answer death's sneers

To be rid of the frigid hate life keeps giving


See all his demons within his haunted eyes

They are the manifestation of his self harm

The cuts, the bloodshed, he gave into their cries

He is committed to embracing pain's charm


Observe his scars from life touching him

See that he has always suffered in silence

Afraid to speak out, who would save him?

He tried to save himself through silent violence


He now cuts to keep his insanity from showing

But he is being torn apart, splitting in two

One part is still fighting but it is slowing

The other is just broken, cracks showing through


But he will soon find his way to break free

He will escape by committing the final act

He now gives his eyes one final sight to see

Before taking up his destructive deadly pact


He will leave his body laying upon the scorched land

Just a hollow, scarred relic of self abuse left behind

Laying there amidst the waste and bloodied sand

His broken self left for the world to find.
