I'm not sure whether to call it " The Masquerade ball" / "Daemons to be conquered and Angels to be set free". Please help...

I’m a devil in disguise,
Bringing hate and pain,
Running riot through your eyes,
I take you back there again,
Watch you as you talk away,
See the way you look back,
Wonder how you are today,
And if my heart is black,
We look into each others eyes,
And I see I made a big mistake,
Your an angel in disguise,
And your tears would fill a lake,
I turn away in shame,
I know what I’ve done wrong,
I played love like a game,
My heart was going for a song,
I took my love away from you,
I was scared that I might get hurt,
But now I realise your black and blue,
And I’ve treated you like dirt.

This is pretty good, but not fantastic... I think the title should be "the masquerade ball."  It suits the poem more nicely.

Another very nice job.  I really enjoyed reading this one.. I think for the title, "Demons to be conquered and Angels to be set free" is too complicated of a title, but I don't think that "The Masquerade Ball" suits it either... But that's just personal opinion.  Hmm.. I can't think of anything else that would really work well...
Anyway, this is a nicely written poem.

This isn't your best, but you still did a decent job on this one.  i think of the two possible title the masquerade ball works better, but that's me.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Your current title does seem a little complicated, but I think Masquerade Ball doesnt quite suit the poem.  Other than that, great job!

I liked this. Seems like a poem you wrote after a realization.
Nicely done.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I liked the poem, but i agree that the title should be changed, because to me title is very important in poems..if they are given one..

Ok thanks for all the help with the title... I think this might get filed... untitled... or maybe I just need the conviction to stick with the title that I like... Daemons to be conquered and angels to be set free. It maybe complicated but it suits it better than masquerade ball. Once again a very big thank you and lots of hugs to all those who replied... if the gentlemen would prefer they may have a firm handshake.
