Reckless

I didn't want to be safe;

I wanted to be reckless

because then I felt alive.

 

It didn't matter what were

the consequences of my actions,

I needed to live dangerously.

 

I didn't realize what I was doing

did not prove my existence

but only confirmed my demise.

 

And it destroyed me just like

it was always going to,

just like it was supposed to.
