Description -picking away at the years-

picking away at my scabs,
scratching away my mistakes,
leaving my past in the shadows,
blood has shed and left a stain,

picking away at my heart,
you help yourself,
i pay the price,
pieces of my heart are lost and crumbled,

picking away at my black nailpolish,
escaping from reality,
smoking away my memories,
everything turns to grey,

picking away at my pretty face,
everything i see in you i see in me,
i hate the way you remind me,
i smash the mirror,
if only to get you out of my way,

picking away at my insides,
forcing myself to decay,
i hate myself for the hate in me,
and i can't stop this mutilation,

picking away at the bad times,
my regrets string behind my dirty feet,
acting as my shadow,
doing as they please,

picking away at the useless thoughts,
the ones left by you,
they make my mind wander,
and push my anger level,

picking away at my tears,
swollowing these fucking pills,
trying to escape this torture,
even though i know the truth,

picking away at my memories,
erasing you step by step,
singing my drunken lullaby,
i killed myself for you,

picking away at the sorrow,
the bruses you've left on my heart,
i fell to pieces once before,
but i swear you won't blind me again,

picking away at my future,
pulling you from my success,
thank you for being the enemy,
thank you for all the ashes and blood,

you're the reason i kept going,
why i haven't given up,
i knew i could overcome your harsh words and abuse,
i'm stronger than you think i am,
and i thank you for the dissapointment you've caused me,

picking through my memories,
i realized that i can make it through anything,
because you put me down,
and maybe when you think of me,
you still think of your 'little girl',
but when you hear about me on the news,
and in magazines,

when you look for your name in the credits,
don't wonder why it's not there,
i'm thanking you now for the pain you've caused me,
and the obsticles you've put before me,
but don't flatter yourself,
i'm giving you more recongnition than you deserve,

i'm stronger than you think,
i won't be pushed around or weighed down anymore,
and as far as i'm concerned,
you can rot within yourself,

picking through my memories,
i've said enough today,
don't call me ' baby, pooky or sweetie'
because i'm not a gallable little kid anymore,
and i swear you won't blind me again.

Wow!!! I liked this a lot (and yes I live ). The imagery is strong and convincing. I half love/hate the way you switched up the style halfway through...but I can't decide which. I have one suggestion. On the line-thank you for all the ashes and blood,

may sound better as thank you for blood and ash. I don't know why but It sounds a little better I think (?) Anyway...There you go. You should be happy that I decided to write anything since I haven't commented on anything in YEARS. But this was good...so go you.
