self-destruction doesn't always
look like taking too many pills or cutting your skin open.
sometimes it's drinking coffee
when you know caffeine gives you panic attacks.
sometimes it's crossing the street without looking both ways.
sometimes it's showering with the water a little too hot.
sometimes it's avoiding eye contact with your reflection in the mirror
or ridiculing your problems rather than addressing them.
sometimes it's walking out without
sunscreen in the scorching heat
and not wearing enough when it's freezing out.
self destruction isn't always physical mutation, mostly it's masked as little things so never assume what someone may be going through just because they don't show you visible signs of suffering.
