Skipping meals often, sleeping less and not on time,
Not walking or exercising daily, social drinking no crime.
Smoking a few cigarettes when stressed, some rash driving to boot,
They may be roads to slow death, but not pathological at root.
Some suffer from a desire to binge and purge, others don't eat at all,
Some drown themselves in alcohol, cause they feel insignificant and small.
Some get stuck in abusive relationships, perpetuating in their life ongoing violence,
Some constantly live on the edge, are self destructive- if viewed from this lens.
In others the manifestation, is more total and stark,
They cut or burn themselves, when their thoughts turn dark.
Extremely critical of self, falsely assuming they're no worth,
They want to punish their bodies, which they assume is different from earth.
Whether the pain is occasional or repetitive, there are better ways to cope,
As long as you remember life is inherently worthy, there is always room for hope.
