give up the game,
it's not worth playing.
just stop the pain,
before I'm truly maimed.

1600mg of ibuprofen,
four medicated patches of Salonpas;
they offer only a temporary reprieve,
long enough for a brief sleep.

--

stop it with thine self,
stop relying on others,
stop expecting "help".

stop screwing around,
vying for compassion and attention.

destroy these thoughts and feelings,
these desires for compassion and attention,
expel them to the depths of purgatory.

conquer thyself,
thine unwanted features;
manipulate them, mold them
to thine own heart's content.

create something anew from the cesspool of thy self,
a being better than before;
grant thee strength needed
to awaken such a thing.
