Defined

March 13, 2013
By Anonymous

I feel as though my mind is suffering, being tortured by my own thoughts
It is my own actions that cause my insanity, yet I have no control over myself
And I find myself cutting deeper into the darkness
My mind grips the cold strip of metal digging into my pride
Tearing open my conscience, exposing pools of hot crimson secrets
Jeopardizing friendships, stealing my innocence, robbing my purity
My mind helps itself to my body, defining me
