I bathe in Ivory, below, beyond dilusion.
Embrace the darkness, I caress your confusion.
I once fell, as I am falling now...

Silence seeps through tormented winds,
Foolishly escaping the black storms.
I took your soul, in my own grasp.
I teared it apart delicately, and examined inside,
for it was filled with your ignorant emptiness...

I feel as though I could have flied,
I feel as though I've tried,
I feel as though I have nothing to hide,
I am me, stand by me or hate me because I am different,
hate me, love me, the insignificant,
lies within you...

Decisions lie my wrists with incisions,
as the mass of my body lays wastedly on the floor.
Kick me, scathe me, mutilate me, do what you will,
but you will never tear apart the rage to kill.
You will never tear apart what was treasured inside,
what was so preciously kept, from the mind's own eye,
you will never make sense of what could've been me,
because I tried to love thee...

Run through me.
Envenom my adrenaline,
With the energy...

Fly through me.
Make my wings for me,
With the energy...

Trap me,
Conclude my illusion,
With the energy...

Love me, hate me because I am different,
look at me, contradict me, because of your confusion,
contemplate what to do with me, I'll let you now.
Yet... In the end... you reap what you sow.

Lucidity this is a terrific first post. It was written in a format that was different and I give you nothing but praise for the theme.

Welcome to passions also. I hope that you come to enjoy it as much as we all do. I also hope to see more pieces like this in the future.

Just a note though, you might want to change some or in particular one word at the end as your poem become a closed thread due to it.

Wow what a first post. Just beware of guidlines in the forum, you may want to read them. What a powerful piece, I loved this part:" I teared it apart delicately, and examined inside, for it was filled with your ignorant emptiness..."
Great job!

Welcome to Passions!
I believe that this was a nice poem, but you are going to have to pay attention to the guidlines a bit more than you did. You cannot cover up a bad word by asterix's....anyway.....nice one here.
Hope to see you post more.

Hey guys, thanks for the response.
Sorry about that last part. I didnt try to cover it up with astericks, I guess the forum did it for me, I wasnt sure about the word so I figured I would leave it in and see what happened. Well  atleast I know for future reference.
