The Abc's of Bpd

Animistic descent from sanity Boorish attitude, sense of lost control Crawl out of your skin, bloody vanity Darkness claws like a black hole Eternal uncertainty wreaks mayhem Freedom not given, glued to midnight Glutton of attention, cannot condemn Hungry for life, all bark and no bite Insanity placed on my sweating forehead Justification, she’s just sick Killjoy I may be, the day I dread Labels in my throat choke me quick Meaningless apologies, see from my eyes Nights of liquid lucidity, a dull mind by day Oh the pain, its thorns shred my heart and thighs Persistent thoughts, worries carried away Question my identity, a woman without a face Remember happiness, a fleeting memorial Scars on my ribs, my heart’s knives trace Tears on my face, struggles sensorial Ugly feelings of hate, daily reprise Veins of ice or so it feels, words tongue-tie With echoing sighs my dream dies Xenolith, smile covered, stifled outcry Yearning for a hand to hold on to Zealous recovery, fail and reverse
