Why did somebody found this poem offensive? 1 of 2?
In Screams Aloud…
In screams aloud
I have awaken unproud
Lost in the dark
An unknown fear dwelling in my heart
Not at all clear this thing which I fear
Something not at all dear
Tis’ nothing there at all
Nothing large nor nothing small
It is alone that I am and alone I shall be
No unseen horror from which I must flee
Nothing save my own foolishness robs me of my rest
Nothing, but some unseen, unreal pest
My eyes grow weary of this dim night’s light
And no longer do I wish to fight
Or evade sweet sleep’s delight
I pray with eyes closed tight
No longer could I linger
Only to hear the faint distant voice of a singer
“Thru your empty life and times of strife
I have awaited you
Thru the sleepless nights and days of flight
I have awaited you”

I don't find anything offensive in the poem. However, it does not seem to make much sense, except the rhyme, there does not seem much of poetry. The last four lines of course stand on a different platform, and may stand as a short poem.
