autosarcophagy.

self-cannibalism is the practice of eating parts of one's own body, also called autocannibalism or autosarcophagy.

a fancy word for eating yourself.

generally, only the consumption of flesh by an individual of the same species is considered cannibalism.

i like to think i've carved out a nice home in my guts.

in line with this usage, self-cannibalism means the consumption of flesh from one's own body.

disgusted with the browns and greys of my blurry visages.

in humans, it can be a symptom of a mental disorder, but there are also a handful of people who have voluntarily consumed an amputated body part.

i'll dye it all red with blood, seeking redemption.

in other cases, people were forced to eat parts of themselves as a form of torture.

yet i only bleed black more and more, wading through the sins of my burden.

a similar term which is applied differently is autophagy, which specifically denotes the normal process of self-degradation by cells.

my Hope leads me deeper, chasing after a solution for our plights.

some people will engage in self-cannibalism as an extreme form of body modification.

it's fucking useless.

stooping so low and for what?

 
you'll just see them
in the mirror.
