Self-Destruction As A Form Of Creation

Dig your fingernails into the palms of your hands to remind yourself of what it feels like to be powerful
Scratch yourself when you feel numb to remind yourself that there is still blood pumping beneath your skin
Experiment with how long you can thrive off of nothing but caffeine and nicotine
Stay awake all night staring at your bedroom window until light creeps in and the morning birds start to sing
Read old letters you’ve kept in boxes in your closet and let their words seep into your subconscious 
Burn your old journals and pretend that none of it was real
Paint over your canvases and make something new
Hurt yourself on purpose as a source of inspiration
Lock yourself inside of an empty room with no windows or mirrors
Apologize to yourself 
Ask for forgiveness
Beg to be reborn
