Confrontation My thoughts started twisting I couldn't think straight I soon started wishing I wasn't full of hate There's a demon in me One I can't escape I didn't want it to be For now I am full of hate It twists all my thoughts And alters my mind It calls all the shots And doesn't seem to mind I try to confront him But he always eludes me His morals are thin But his hatred is deep I then decided I've had enough I layed in bed and I tried To kill this demon but he is tough For he was determined not to die He threw his tricks at me But I saw right through them He realized this and ran deep Into a trap I laid for him I had this demon trapped And he knew that I did Then he smiled and tapped Upon the glass that I hid It all came crashing down My whole thought out plan I saw him start to frown And then I was in his land He finally dared to confront me The one he sought to destroy I knew at once he wanted it to be His final grand reward I fell to my knees And held my head in pain He started to tease Staring at me in disdain I finally saw him for what he really was I knew it couldn't be I started to scream in horror because The demon turned out to be me I saw all the lies and false hopes My determination was utterly shattered I knew I wouldn't be able to cope For my beleif in myself was battered Then I realized the facts The way to stop the pain The demon froze in his tracks As I looked at him in disdain I took three confident steps Until I was right in front of him The demon started to fret For his lies were killed by foreign love I then embraced this creature For this demon was no longer thriving I had finally learned to cope For now my faith was no longer dying I had help in fighting this demon From two beautiful girls But I'm afraid the price wasn't even For now one hates me still I will now try to get her back We were once good friends For I guess this demon had a secret attack It seems that he has gotten his revenge |

haunted poet: this is excellent work... i love the way the story develops and the twist that you give it... i wrote a poem with a similar theme once called "Dreams of a Fallen Earth" in which i turn out to be a "demon"... mabye i'll post it here in the future so we can compare *heh*... i think you've done a great job with this and i'm not going to pick at it because i think it's pretty solid as it stands... sincerely, jerome the boy with no brain A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! ~Coleridge |

I rather like this poem, I can relate to it, in a way, just switching around the genders, of course. ![]() Now, can someone tell me how people just seem to gather people for responses so quickly? Is it because of the magic in the words? Yes...[and now I think I know why I hardly ever get responses]. Nevertheless, me like the poem. ~Astraea "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |
