Like a slow burning suicide,
my loniness was justified.
Like s slow burning suicide,
my loss and confusion did collide.
Like a slow burning suicide,
I was left bewildered and wild-eyed.
Like a slow burning suicide,
I was awkward and tongue-tied.
Like a slow burning suicide,
my thoughts were cock-eyed.
Like a slow burning suicide,
my sadness was certified.
Like a slow burning suicide,
my self-harm took me on a joyride.
Like a slow burning suicide,
I broke down and cried.
Like a slow burning suicide,
my pain was amplified.
Like a slow burning suicide,
my love was lost and fried.
Like a slow burning suicide,
my personalities committed genocide.
Like a slow burning suicide,
my unhappy life was magnified.
Like a slow burning suicide,
my happiness was torn and mortified.
Like a slow burning suicide,
my own self was left horrified.
Like a slow burning suicide,
my fear had me forever terrified.
Like a slow burning suicide,
my death may or may not be justified.
Like a slow burning suicide,
my life ends, if I died.
