I am nothing close to abomination from within
A lamentation's brew heated and boiling into a spill
Wretched and confined into reality's discriminations
Am I the demon that deserves eternal punishment?
Or am I just that of misfortune's best friend
"Why must I ask for forgiveness for all my sins," I ask myself?
Should I? Knowing that...
In end's time compassions hand is easily at reach
And I still do. Discounting all the untouched questions, I honestly do
And still, I weep alone...
I persistently fold myself into a corner hoping no one sees my grief
Lucky is the walking dead, I say
For he, though alone, is at least unscathed by human's weakness
Numb to that of his surroundings...
The only envy of life's hurting people

Such blatant expressions I know I've said
I've kept these confined in my soul all this time.
Not knowing how much longer I can stay dormant
Not knowing when I shall erupt and unleash such motility
I just have to let it out
For they are far worse...
Far worse than running nails on a chalkboard
It has totally driven me close to insanity
A knock in the doors of the Omega
So, bare with me as I cast loose my Demons
All that of your consideration and not of pity

As I wage war against Ares
A battle in Euterpe
a fight I can't win
a fight already lost
I too wait in time for Eros
Hear my voice...
head my call
I beg as I sit on this old,
squeeking wooden chair
Hoping one day that the arrow shot from his bow carries my name
Hoping that the hunter's eye is not blurred by time,
For missing in not an option given
Hoping it hits me straight where it matters the most
Like that of patriots
Hoping the arrow hits me straight in the heart
Yes...,
Straight in the heart
For this, nothing else...,
I know is more than destiny
And I am here to claim what is rightfully mine ...
Here to claim what belongs to me and to noone else
Here to once again...
"Love Myself"

I love the ending statement best of all.     
You know I don't care much for most free verse though... it's nothing personal against this poem it's just free verse in general.  It gave me a limited capacity of enjoyment in reading this.
Still probably a good poem, but it's hard for me to tell very well y'know.  
Keep on posting for us, man.  Let's see something recent!

This was very powerful and written quite well!! But, just so that you know, the font made it kinda difficult to read, so maybe use another one next time.

Acire, a totally big wow goes out to you buddy. For that piece, you deserve a jellybean.  

I loved the way you wove the Gods into it. You are one talented little muffin, boy-o. You should be extremely proud of this amazing creation.

My hat goes off to you.

You did well on this one acire, but you never cease to amaze me with just how much you like to piss me off with that cursive writing haha....Always takes me a decade to read each line!

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

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

This is an impressive display of your talent, acire.  My favorite lines:
"Discounting all the untouched questions, I honestly do
And still, I weep alone..."
VERY powerful... I loved this.  Thanks for reposting it!  Most impressive.  Another one for my library.  Excellent work.

*is blown away by the words of a toona*
wow...this is awesome..it left me quite breathless for sumtime....did you know that your words could have that effect?..you could have killed me y'know..
but on the serious side of things i have to say that im impressed with it-truly! you write so eloquently its kind of hard to imagine that it came from "the toona"

I've kept these confined in my soul all this time.
                  Not knowing how much longer I can stay dormant
                  Not knowing when I shall erupt and unleash such
                                   motility

i think those are the lines i could most relate to-repressing feelings only causes more and more frustrations..*shakes head sadly*
but i have to be honest with you- i found it really hard to follow at first- i dont know maybe your sentences are too complex for a simple-minded person such as i   and the flow of the poem was a bit higgeldy piggeldy but apart from that its wonderful!!!!

thank you for the brilliant read toona...you've managed to score another "agpfagp" abbreviation from  me...

Acire, I never saw this one in Teen #3, but I missed out, this was amazing. One of the best I have read in the time that I have been with this group. The cursive is horrible to read though.It's in my library.

this is INCREDIBLE.  I love this:
"As I wage war against Ares

because of the strength in the allusions.  Great work, really great!
