KILL YOUR SELF

I DO NOT MEAN FOR YOU TO TAKE YOUR OWN HAND TO YOUR SKIN I DO NOT MEAN FOR YOU TO CRUSH YOUR BONES UNDER THE STRESS OF LIFE OR LEAP FROM LEDGES LIKE A BIRD IN FLIGHT.

NO, WHEN I SAY "KILL YOURSELF" I WANT YOU TO HEAR:

*KILL YOUR PARENTS.* SLAY THE EXPECTATIONS THEY IMPLANTED WITHIN YOU, CHOKE THE TRADITIONS THEY NOOSED TO YOUR SPINE.

*KILL YOUR ADDICTIONS.* THE ONES THAT HOLD YOU DOWN IN A POOL OF SELF-LOATHING, THE ONES THAT OFTEN CAUSE YOU TO QUESTION YOUR WORTH AND YOUR PURPOSE.

*KILL YOUR EGO.* ASSASSINATE THE VOICE INSIDE OF YOUR SOUL THAT BEGS YOU TO STAY SMALL, THE BELLOWING UPROAR THAT FILLS YOUR BONES WHEN YOU DARE TO GO AGAINST THE STATUS QUO. DESTROY THE WHAT IFS, THE DOUBTS, THE 'I AMS,' THE 'I'M NOTS.' THE DEVIL ON YOUR SHOULDER THAT HAS ROBBED YOU OF YOUR TENDERNESS, THE HELL WITHIN YOUR PRIDE THAT HAS STOPPED YOU FROM SAYING SO MUCH, ITS THE SAME KIND THAT LET HER GET • AWAY, THE SAME KIND THAT;TOOK THE WORDS YOU NEVER ALLOWED YOUR-, SELF TO SAY.

SO KILL IT ALL, AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO YOURSELF. INTRODUCE YOUR-SELF TO YOUR HEART THE ONLY REMAINING THING WITHIN YOUR SOUL THAT BEATS SOLELY FOR SOMETHING BIGGER THAN ITSELF, TIRE ONLY THING WITHIN YOUR CORE THAT REPRESENTS THE REAL YOU.
