So that they don/'/t chase me.
Whenever I look in the mirror,
I will not believe what I can see.

Flooding my ears with music
To drown the voices in my head.
I am afraid of the evil monster
Hiding inside me; not under my bed.

I/'/m tearing myself apart from within;
Trying to fight against the odds.
What makes it even harder is,
Knowing that I/'/m better than I was.

Watching sunset flames consumed,
By the quickly growing darkness.
Reminds me how things change;
And shows me how I/'/m helpless.

I don/'/t want to hurt you anymore!
Nothing means more to me than you!
You are last bit of light in my life!
But my darkness will kill this, it/'/s true! [comments] => 5 [counter] => 122 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Buggsy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

A vivid tale of self destruction from the inside out.
Your hero has surrendered to his fate. The more he/'/s forgiven, the worse he gets.
What will save him? You leave us to guess..and our imaginations run wild.
If this is RUSTY...I am looking forward to your future writes.

this speaks to me so much. I feel every single line as though they came from inside me. especially when I got to "What makes it even harder is,
Knowing that I//'//m better than I was." - that was like a punch to the gut.

get out of my head and heart ;)

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
