Self-Destructing

by

Heather Nicole Luther

My whole life was spent
Striving and constructing,
But now all this is going down the drain
Because my choices are self-destructing.

I’ve tried all my life
Hoping to become someone,
But somewhere I went wrong
And from the world I was shunned.

Ashamedly my head hangs at times
For I know I’ve made mistakes,
But I’m trying harder than ever
To change for goodness sakes!

Don’t look down at me because
Of the things I’ve done,
Because all I want is to have
A life of fun.

In having my fun
I’ve been self-destructing,
But in doing so, my life style
Has been deducting.

I’ve been through some
Short days and some longs,
And I’ve had my fair share of my
Rights and my wrongs.

Some of the decisions I made
Were not the best,
But I’m trying to fix it
And make up for the rest.

I understand now that I’m
Self-destructing myself,
But in doing so I hope to set examples
So you won’t do it to yourself.

Don’t try to be like me
Or act like I act,
Be better than me and don’t let
Your pride be cracked.
Believe you me, I’ve paid my dues
Because my decisions were wrong,
And the thoughts keep reiterating in my head
And they run for so very long.

Don’t be as I am
But strive to be better,
And don’t let your decisions
Act like a fetter.

Make choices that are
Healthy and strong,
Avoid self-destruction
And doing of the wrongs.

From my mistakes
I’ve learned my lesson,
And the lesson of self-destruction
Is the thing that I’m stressing.

From all of my wrongs
A seed was borne,
The seed of my own self-destruction
About which I’ll forever mourn.
