there's a rift
where peace should be
and a burnt out bridge
set alight by me
i wondered if
this was a mistake
and how many more
i could possibly make?
everything impulsively,
i slash and rip and tear
my skin, my books, my friendships
my new clothes and my hair
and once the damage is done
in an irreparable state
i try to find myself again
and each time it's too late
i want to quit the rush
and have control again
but impulsivity stays in power
forever it shall reign
