Self-Destruct
All I needed was growth,
I sought pleasure instead.
In your arms I found comfort,
You masked a pain that you could not heal.
Whatever your reasons were, I thank you for the time we had.

Now it’s time to grow,
I recognize my choice and flaws,
I admit my weakness and my pride.
It’s true you had me overfed with trifle pleasures,
but I did not always have to eat from your seductive buffet.
I see clearly now.
The big red button across the room.
We drop our dreams and ambitions outside its door,
One push and a three-second jolt of electricity running through our brains.
I watched Darcy, Victor, and Mia all go in, mindlessly.
A vigorous punch and each time the sound was the same.

Self-destruct! Self-destruct! Self-destruct!
I flee from you and am not turning back.
It’s a difficult journey but I’m not coming back.
My map is incomplete and my destination, I don’t know.
but I’m not coming back
I choose growth.
I’ll keep choosing growth.
This time, I won’t self-destruct.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
