Bitter Destiny

Bitter Destiny

A Poem by Elizabeth Porterfield
"

A song I wrote while really depressed over seemingly nothing

"

Feeling so self destructive

The pain oh so seductive

So tempting

The sting of the blade

The burn of the flame

The desire strangely pure

So untamed

 

Chorus

Believe what you will of me

My bitter destiny

Calls to me, Haunting me

Preaching Insanity

I just can't fight it

So I fight myself

 

You search for a cure

I just search for relief

From the grief

And this cold endless ache

Old mistakes

Brought to life

More than memories

 

Chorus

 

And I know that what comes

Could be better or worse

I just hope to escape

From this curse

 

Chorus (x2)

"You search for a cure, I just search for relief." This is impact, this line just calls out to me, Its like when you listen to a song and you have a favorite part you wanna listen to over and over again, I can totally imagine listening to this. Kinda has a lacuna coil vibe to it, I loved it. Keep writing, if the world could get some good songs going like this, I won't say it would be a better place, i won't say its the cure.. But its good listening, my mind is at relief cause this is what i'd like to hear.
