When Reality Sets In

I fear that hell is an option for many of us.

I'm starstruck by my scars

Each one more unique than the other

I bear them every where

But it's hard for you to care when you don't see them

 

They're my definition 

The thing that kept me going 

I loved when they appeared 

Every new one more painful than the next

 

And the lust of a newer one made the addiction hard to stop

The addiction derived by the problems we face every day 

I was in love with multilation

I am in love with mutilation 

 

These cuts and scars and scratches and marks 

The reality each and every one of us must face

Though not in the same kind of way as my 

Self-inflicted pain 

 

 

Author's Note

You know, I don't really think poetry should be critiqued. It's supposed to be an expression of feelings, so why should others tell you that your feelings are horrid when you write them down? Eh, I like reviews though.

This is a perfect example of how times change. I especially love the line "I am in love with mutilation." Especially from today's point of view.
