self destruction

on the path to self destruction

there is no other way to go

i see two roads ahead

one green

one white

one black

yes thats three

i hear you say

yes they were

blinded by my tears

my fears

my years

my pain

its in the do not rewind

never to see again

path of self destruction

save me from this path

make me whole again

i just want to laugh and smile

but the path to self

destruction

its one i know too well

make the same mistakes

cry the same tears

look in the mirror and loathe again

on that path

that lonely path

of destruction

and insanity

Yes, I'm very familiar with this path. I love the way you say "two paths" . . . then you describe three, then you call out exactly what the reader must be thinking (correctly). This is the best bit of interactive writing I've ever seen here at the Café! Great idea & one that needs to be emulated often! *wink! wink!* Overall, your poem describes the curse clearly, along with a good balance of uplifting thoughts too (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I am always fascinated by people who make actions against them self. Like they cannot help them self they know it's gonna hurt them but they do it anyway. Like people on the drugs or people who often take risk without thinking. You write there self destruction save you from fears and pain. I find it quiet strong cause anybody can bring own meaning for this. I find my self destruction not so dangerous they are more like obession floating at my head sometimes I grab them and sometimes dont. Am I lucky one ?
