Poem: What if I Self Destruct?--a conversation among alters
What if we self-destruct?
What if we don’t?
What if we self-destruct?
Why would we want to?
What if we self destruct…?
Self-destruction doesn’t serve us
All it does is start a storm
A storm that brings irreparable damage
Self-destruction doesn’t serve us,
It only makes things worse.
What if we self-destruct?
What if we don’t?
What if we self-destruct?
Why would we want to?
What if we self destruct…?
What if we don’t?
If we don’t self-destruct
We’ll die of boredom,
Not boredom, but what’s the pont?
No adrenaline, no fun,
Fun isn’t the word,
More like, what’s the point
If we aren’t fighting to survive?
What if we self-destruct?
What if we don’t?
What if we self-destruct?
Why would we want to?
What if we self destruct…?
Hear me out, I hear you both
Self-destruction leads to chaos,
Chaos leads to adrenaline
Making life more exciting and unpredictable
But have you considered
That survival isn’t all there is to life?
In survival you don’t see the beauty,
What life can truly be.
What if I self destruct?
But what if you don’t?
What if I self destruct
Why would you want that?
What if I self destruct?
What if you don’t?
If I don’t self destruct
Life will destroy me
Isn’t it better to be my own demise?
At least then I’d feel in control.
What if I self destruct?
What if you don’t?
What if I self destruct?
Why would you want that?
What if I self destruct?
Maybe life will blossom
Hasn’t it already?
Look at you now, compared to a year ago.
You have many things you never thought you could have
You are building stability,
You’ve never coped this well
Don’t you see a future better than your past?
My standards for life are low
I wish i could see a future
Like the one you paint
All i can see is smoke and fire
Bombs everywhere,
Life is a warzone,
What’s the point?
What if I self destruct?
What if you don’t?...
What if I self destruct?
Why would you want to?
Did you notice the twist?
