Hate or love? You decide.

It creeps up on me
enveloping me
controlling me
Motivating me
it fills my heart
It can destroy me
But i cant Get rid of it
It has become all that i am

Death is but an escape from loneliness

This is very creative!  I think the thought could be expanded even further, into a more elongated poem.  Although I know that's not your style.     
Still, outstanding work!  I'm undecided...

Empty tears-
   Often there is a fine line between
   love and hate...you've done a great
   job with this...it's a thinker, and
   I like that.  
   Keep writing...

Wow.. this is tough.  It really made me think.  I like poems that do that.. I don't know which it is, but I do know that this is a very good poem.  Nice job, Empty.

Jee Wiz, what to say about this one..
Well first off, well written, and i do def. agree with alan, it could be expanded, but for what it was , it was great.
It also made me think, which is good..
I hope its LOVE not HATE, for me it would be LOVE..That was my DECISION..LOL..
Tell me yours if you want to..i would like to know..
Keep Writing..

this was a great poem with a great idea behind it.  i certainly hope that it's love, it's too bad hate is so much easier to find...

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

Great job on this one. I guess it could ver well be both. They are both VERY powerful.

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

Hate or love... hmm... I could see it either way. But this poem could be used for almost anything, because almost anything can consume your being and control who you are. I won't get too in depth here. I can't really find anything wrong with this poem, but I like some of your others better. I really like that you used 'motivating' it seems that many people think of motovation as always a good thing, but it's not necessarily. Okay... well don't I feel deep..... sort of.. Ciao
