Not the general hell, by my own.
Where money and power rule,
where gunshots are heard every minute of everyday.
A place where men are kings and women are whores.
A place of deceit, lies, death, destruction, and drugs.
Some may see this place and think of it as a nightmare,
I call it reality, I call it home.
Am I happy in this hell?
In a sick and twisted way, yes I am.
They don't call me "heartless" for nothing.
I smile at the things of this world,
laugh at the destruction,
and find amusement in the people.
I cherish every moment of this world,
and can not wait to be back in it.
Call me what you want,
it doesn't matter to me.
I don't show love,
don't want love,
don't care about love.
Love has cost me more than I was willing to give.
Now I show only hate,
and I am happy with what I am.
I am happy with what I have become.
This is my life,
and I choose it well. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 269 [topic] => 13 [informant] => whiteleo1984 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Welcome to hell.
Not the general hell, by my own.
Where money and power rule,
where gunshots are heard every minute of everyday.
A place where men are kings and women are whores.
A place of deceit, lies, death, destruction, and drugs.
Some may see this place and think of it as a nightmare,
I call it reality, I call it home.
Am I happy in this hell?
In a sick and twisted way, yes I am.
They don't call me "heartless" for nothing.
I smile at the things of this world,
laugh at the destruction,
and find amusement in the people.
I cherish every moment of this world,
and can not wait to be back in it.
Call me what you want,
it doesn't matter to me.
I don't show love,
don't want love,
don't care about love.
Love has cost me more than I was willing to give.
Now I show only hate,
and I am happy with what I am.
I am happy with what I have become.
This is my life,
and I choose it well.

I like it.
Although, you need to be honest. This could be extremly powerful if you'd not hide behind it.
I think that's a big trap in writing ( a pitfall)
I think every writer hides behind the words. The good writer propels himself (I won't say herself. I don't give a **** about the PC) forward.

I wish i was sober so I could explain better...

ok, in this form of writing that you're using
you're using common language,
but you're not using it naturally

just something to give some thought to
( i always hate it when people say something like, 'nice' or, 'good write')

I really liked the end
the last two lines
last two sentences...

anyway, good night and remember
write everything!

always, abraham

Altho this is a good write, i think the world would be a better place without heartless people. I think heartless people are the downfall of society. nice job tho.
