Disclaimer: This poem does not refer to self-mutilation or death in the physical sense. I am basically writing a variation on the old saying -"The road to hell is paved with good intentions"  )My apologies for the brief profanity in the fifth line but I feel it's integral to the emotional feel of the poem. Thanks - JEO__________________________ Rotting… tick tock timebomb ticking inside of me short fuse being fanned by angry flames heart of gold tarnished by [profanity edited] genuine feelings don’t mean a thing y’all made me the sinner wear my thorny crown I’m the one everyone blames when their jigsawed life refuses to fit musical crunch of glassy shards your shrapnel eats into my brain I want to make this buzzing stop but flies are attracted to dead things all you good children will go to heaven while this adult will perish in hell because I’ve sacrificed myself for the last time no longer cutting my pound of flesh to sell God help me, I’m rotting from the inside out Hey rascalx...I'm editing out the profanity here, despite your disclaimer. As mentioned in the email I sent you, disclaimers do not make profanity within posts any more permissable. Thanks Severn [This message has been edited by Severn (edited 11-10-2000).] |

This is heavy. "rotting from the inside out". Not a pleasant feeling, is it? Take me as I am or watch me as I go |

Tara ...no, my muse, it is not a pleasant feeling but one I can't escape nonetheless. |
