moonlight pounds upon my back as i run along
the shore
i depend upon the cloak or night and the cries of the sea to hide me from the evil that hunts me
i can feel it gaining speed behind me
i can feel it grow in strength
i smell its foul odor and can fell its breath
stumbling into the cold waters and look up to see the thing that i tried to run away from
so hard i had run and so scared i was to see it
i saw myself   and i cried
i saw the pain and hatred i had instelled into peoples lives  i saw the tears they shed  i saw the blood i had spilt  i saw where i had left them when thay needed me most
i saw myself and died



"scribere iussit amor" love commanded me to write
"Cogito ergo sum"-I think, therefore I exist

There were a few typos in this, but other than that I think it's good   The meaning behind it, the self reflection, is very good.  Most people have things in their past that they'd rather not have catch up with them, so I'm sure people can relate to this.  I wonder though, is what you've done really so bad that you'd die?  Well anyway, good job.

This was great......feeling a little regret arent we? Well i mean........i hope things are ok and stuff. Don't die......face it and ...well......say sorry or something.

This is different. Regret or remorse is obviously present in this piece.  I like the decriptive ways you brought us to imagine in this poem.  Great job...thanks for sharing
