Poetry: Self-hatred

by Paul Ciavardini

Created on: October 25, 2009   Last Updated: October 29, 2009

Two eyes, separated by bone
Minding their own sockets
I wish that I could cut them out
And hide them in my pockets

Two ears a full scull apart
Staying hidden from each other
I want to crush them shut
With no more sound to discover

One stomach churning acid
Burning underneath my skin
I'll pull it from my throat
Purge the pain from within

One brain spreading chaos
Harboring thoughts of fear and dread
I'll poison it under my scull
Until it swells through my head

One heart beating under my chest
The only organ that is true
But if I can stop its beating
Then the others will die too
