If someone were to ask you if you liked your heart, you'd probably answer yes. I have a good heart, meaning you love, or are charitable. But this man has a bitter heart because he's an outcast, in the desert, there is no life in the desert. Deep dude. Wow. Brilliant.

Among all living creatures, man is the only to willingly destroy himself. Knowing what brings self destruction - yet engages in it anyways.

I think the poem can be about anything we indulge in, but to me it's about depression. It's horribly painful, but you bury yourself in it because it's comfortable. It's who you are so you just give in to it and you'd never change it because it's special because it's yours. It's the depths of you. That's what I think the poem's about.
