They say, under their breath
It means pitiful, a dark death
One tale of that who harms themselves
Harm everyone else
Those who have the darkest hearts
With the broken souls, grim is where it starts
Thought sinned upon, sent to Hell
Though in reality, they're Angels who can't tell
Unknowingly of their own light
They source through the night, one without a fright
They, among others, are darker than moonless nights
And only do others speak of their withering lights
If only do they to harm themselves, to cause pain
Among others will they only bring the same
Something noticed by the darkest
But only brought to truth by the hardest
Every soul who harms their own
Is a soul that is bound to forever be alone
Ones closest to always get left with grief
But those dark ones, they are met with relief
Under their breath,
A pitiful death
Only spoke of the pain they inflicted
Just to afterwards speak of spirits they lifted
Those who looked down upon the darkest hearts
Will look up upon those after torn apart
In the clouds, they rest
Aloud, their best
Speeches and candle lights float into the sky
After those of the darkest learn to fly
Leaving traces behind, leaving others to believe
They're not behind
Still here looking over others
Even those, with hate smothers
Even those, the others
Will turn from others to lovers
And realize why those who harm their own kind
Will always have a broken soul and mind
An unintended trail of destruction
Left from their pure hearted seduction
A tale solemnly spoke that those who poke
Good or bad intentions, it feels as they stroke
So under their breath
Lay a pitiful death
For those who seek help, but don't know how
Where it ends, the reaper awaits
They meet their untimely fates
So along with their own, they are not alone
Others are affected by such harm
Even if only to the arm
Under their breath, a tale of these
Don't turn away, listen, please
They mean no true harm, no real bad intent
But there's nothing they can do, not even pretend
The darkest ones, those who harm themselves
Harm everyone else.
