Poison - thoughts?

I climb up onto the roof,

and i start to scream,

i want this thing out,

out of ME!!!!!!!!

It's a poison,

blacker than night,

poisoning my heart,

i'm filled with fright.

Just get it out,

It makes me depressed,

Just GET IT OUT!!

It's burning my chest.

I'm going to die,

if you don't help me,

It's eating me away,

Why Can't you see?

I'm fading away,

little by little,

I don't know the answer,

my lifes just a riddle.

Someone please help,

I'm falling in,

into the darkness,

this is the end.

- i really don't know why i wrote this poem, i just did.

    The poem is excellent. It's got a great internal struggle with it, and it's dark yet beautiful. I don't know if you play any instruments, but if you could adapt this into a song it would be beautiful. If you've never heard of the band Evanescence, you should listen to them for some composing ideas if you do decide to make this a song. Their music style would go great with your poem. Once again, it's beautiful, and it seems compassionate, not cold. Like it came from your heart. It was very good.

    The second guy gave a little bad advice.the reason you wrote that poem has a meaning.It's not a literal poison but emotional.I could really connect with that poem.I know what it feels like to have the feeling your being eaten away and dying because something is weighing you down.Writing dark or emotional poetry does not make you depressed sometimes it means you could connect with your words or maybe you are not in that position but understand what they are going through.

    Source(s): i loved it.Keep it up.I would really like to hear more of your work.

    It's not terrible, but neither is it a good work. It's too choppy, and rambles too much. Try writing happier, it will probably come out better. Dark death poetry should only be written by those who have truly suffered through horrendous atrocities, and can actually feel what they are writing. Practice will make you better, and don't go out and find yourself some suffering just to write better dark stuff. just kidding. Keep trying, and I'll keep telling you how you're doing.

  • Its filled with dark, mysterious emotion.....ur poem is pretty good
