Haunting

Amidst a forest I stand alone
The trees a dead gray,
Drenched in dark, deathly vines
Are my companions
The darkness of the night surrounds us
distorting us
In the state of mental and physical vulnerability
The chilling breeze blows boisterously
I stand firm
Not wavering
Nor conquering  

Twisted pictures haunting me
Visions of abhorrence and hatred
Sights of death’s horrid face
I hear the voice of Satan
And I give in to the burden
The weight on my shoulders

I fall the ground
And I hear him laugh

The trees groan with defeat
I lie low
Drowning in my adolescence

sounds like a dream, the bad kind influences by the subconscious guilt and fear that we all expirience for our own reasons...great poem.

Be it in the truest form, or a desperate lack thereof, fail not to understand that the inspiration is love.

You don’t know the pain in her life
You don’t know the heartache, the tears, the strife
I am not content to sit here and watch
As they mutilate her with every touch

You don’t understand the things she’s known
You cant comprehend the fear she’s out grown
And I am not content to know the pain
I want to feel the tears, and the strain

You don’t know how she used to cry
You didn’t see her as she’d scream to an open sky
And I am not content only to know
To hear and see, and wade in the shallow

You don’t understand why she’s still alive
You know now, she should have died
And I am not content to sit here and let them kill her
But as you might have guessed she’s a fighter

Why did you write three poems on here?  Why did you not just start a new topic for each?  Anyway  they are all good poems.  Keep writing.

wow. I really love these. Especially the last one. But yeah why didn't you put them all on separately? Anyway, good job, I'll look for your next ones.

To hate you must first have loved.

Both of these were very good. I'm not really sure why you put 2 on the same page...but besides that...these poems were absolutely beatufiul. The word usage in the first one was perfect! And the second one came together so beautifully. But I think the first was my favorite. Sometimes we all need to escape. Somedays, it just seems like everyones conspiring against you...and you'd like to just give up...Either way...these poems are wonderful. I look forward to reading more of your work!

As I smile at everyone else, I'm dying inside... ~Me
