I should kill. I should.
It's what I should do.
_
Be my advocate
Driven by fate
Be my believer
I'm your deceiver

It's what I planned to do
when I set out.
To kill and feed my bloodlust
before it burns.
_
Are we is we instoppable
how
_
I really should.
_
Now we stand
is where we are
_
Before the desire to kill
is overshadowed
by the need to tear
my own skin,
bare my flesh and—
_
Are we where
is stand we now
_
But as I stand here
looking at the the—
resting in this—ward,
I question my need.
_
How
Instoppable we is we are
_
I question
the need to reach
into one of those—
and extinguish the fire of life.
_
To take from the—
what I see fit.
_
I question—
_
But as the knife cuts the tubing
keeping those beautiful—
bags of hope alive,
_
I feel
an unsettling calmness

This really hones in on our current hive mind zeitgeist, Paul. It's a small wonder suicide rates continue to climb. And it's ironic that you are writing about social media's societal ills and am responding to it on this social media platform.
Indescribable in a good sense of the word. Good job.
Maybe I shouldn't listen to music while I read your poems, Paul. I catch myself singing the verses... Great poem, once again
