Enrage.

Enrage.

A Poem by smalltownsympathies

Self-mutilation
into shapes and forms
I am unable to decipher; 
My mind creates twisted monologues
while my hand stands idly by.

Instead of telling you how or why i can relate to it, or, as you said, tell it how it is, I'm going to tell you what I have gotten from this.

you are having trouble telling the difference between what you see and what your mind tells you. Sometimes you feel as if they are not connected at all. Creating twisting monologues shows me that inside yourself, you are finding that things are never as they seem, almost like you are grasping at straws and then suddenly you have constructed outrageous ideas that only make sense to you. The part about your hand "stand[ing] idly by" is illustrating to me that you know what you're doing, but it isn't your body that's harming you; it's the painful depths of your mind.
