High and mighty

Proud to a T

But struck with a truth

Can I not be free

From the agonizing pain

That boils in my chest

Like spouts of lava

It overflows in a mess

A mess of emotions

I lack control

To feel such hatred

I loathe

If only myself

I hate my own weakness

But my body betrays me

Shakes and convulses

Desire for closure

But the door was slammed shut

I knocked for hours

Without any luck

Turned away in the rain

To suffer in agony

For a weak minded fool

That can’t even say why to me

The mind craves a reason

Detailed and true

The heart craves an apology

Heartfelt and pure

If only this was received

This one thing is all I need

So my life can move on

As if your just a shadow in the masses

But these emotions swell inside me

Bursting at the seams

Triggered by a mere image

Or words spoken in writing

Acidic, vile feelings that burn through my heart

I know it’s because I cared too much

I know it’s because I hurt

Even though I know the truth

Logic is pushed aside

Because the only solution is to talk

And I’ve tried and tried and tried

My pride is already broken

My heart, never repaired

So instead I’ll burn in rage

Every time you appear

Shall I hold my tongue

I always do

And smile to all but you

Until one day

You’re brave enough

To face the fear you grew

See through the broken glass

At the truth beyond the mask.

Lies, lies, lies

Liars that stare at their reflection

Blinded by a vain admiration

They do not see what harm they do

With words so hurtful and cruel

Liars do not care for the world around them

Selfish soulless deceivers drenched in sin.

Truth, truth, truth

A thing of the past

Just a figment that never last

Hurtful more so when it is hidden

Away from eyes so innocent

Truths do not exist

In the world you’re living in.

Oblivious, Oblivious, Oblivious

To all that is around you

Do you not see what they do?

A truth so far stretched it can only be a lie

A lie so lost in words, it can only be denied

But your mind hides the facts of this

And you choose to ignore what it is.

Lies, Truth, Oblivious

The mask you wear is a lie

The truth is what you deny

Oblivious to what shall happen

And yet you stay for nothing

You are an utter idiot

But that is irrelevant

For you are not mine to deal with

And for that, I can’t help it.

(A little different than normal)

Forced into another day

To work among the droids.

Forced to walk the same way

I walked the day before.

They’ve taken all my pencils

And not a single paper in sight

They say it’s for the best

Censorship is right.

My heart holds no joy

Until I hear stories of the past

When the only things censored

Were those words deemed bad

But I have no idea what that is

For everything is bad if it exist

Or at least in this world I live in.

I watched a man get killed

Burned with the book he carried

I can’t recall the title

But I believe it started with an H.

Anyway, he was hung in the street

They didn’t dare censor us from that

Saying it was a sin to read the pages

Of something like the past.

I sort of liked that man

But I don’t recall his name

He always spoke of paradise

And of a thing called freedom.

I think that’s one of those “bad” words

I hear the old man on the corner blab about

But I’m not sure because everything’s bad.

A young woman came to me today

Telling me about a “rebellion”

Is that like a party?

Parties are bad

Or at least that’s what they say

So I turn her away.

Walking that same route, I always do,

I hear a crunch underneath my foot.

A piece of Paper?!

I can’t help but stuff it in my jacket

And walk fast pace.

When I get home I read the words

It’s from that book that man got hung for.

I see the word Rebellion.

I see the word Freedom.

I decide to see that young woman tomorrow.

She read the page to me, in secret,

And told me what it means.

I like this story.

They remind me of my life

Except they seem to be fighting

To be free?

I want to be free

So when the woman asks again

I agree.

We rose up against “them” today.

I yelled the words “Freedom.”

It felt good on my tongue.

Shots were fired

But I clung to my piece of freedom.

I love this book.

I’m glad I rebelled.

As I am looking down at my greatest treasure

Red smudges the paper

I panic and cry.

I feel a little light.

Is this freedom?

I feel content…

Hugging my paper tight

I see that woman scream

I wonder why?

Doesn’t she feel like me?

I can’t wait to be free.

I hope it’s soon.

I’ll just close my eyes

And dream of a world within this book.

I’m sure I will wake up and see freedom.

Yea, that word is nice…

My first ever song, though I lack the ability to write music, only lyrics. If you didn't read the post in the Character Contest, this poem is based on a book I am writing on the Character Ashlyn. Ashlyn is made of poison and has lived thousands of years watching everyone she loves die. The only way to escape the pain is to seperate herself from the world forever or give the immunity to her poison to another, granting them eternal life which probably would only be done if she loved the person. Since she knows what eternal life feels like, Ashlyn does not wish to do that and would rather shoulder the pain herself. A big aspect of herself is that when her poison starts to seem vulnerable to being able to control or create an antidote, she goes through a painful process of rejuvenation where she dies and is reborn. IT takes her vocal cords first causing her screams to be muted during the painful process.

Shadows Dance around my feet

I hold so dearly so close to me

A silent creature in the night

Falling in and

Out of sight

Shall you scream

no one hears

The deathly cries

of one so near

I hold no heart

A soul to part

For I am Timeless dear

Monster cruel

Corrupted too

Look at me and you see it's true

Shadows grace the walls so close

Holding on to the ones I've lost

Shall you scream

No one will hear

My deathly wails

Though I'm so near

No heart encased

Soul is lost

For I am timeless dear

Dearest child, so small and alone

Shall you never know

The shadow's home

I'm trapped forever

to live a life

in which I'm timeless

Shall you scream

No one hears

The deathly cries

Of one so near

I have no heart

A soul did part

They made me timeless here

Left into a darkened state

To roam the world in an empty place

Shadows comforting in their wake

or I am alone I fear

Should I scream

No one can hear

My silent wails

For no one's near

My heart is dead

My soul escaped

For I am stuck in a timeless state

DemonKitten · Jul 9, 2015

The creaking of my heart

The terror of my soul

Breathe out, ice leaves my throat

Evil intentions

Or innocent thoughts

Considered a monster

For something I sought

To rule the world

With good ideas in mind

To control the universe

All in wondrous time

But they cast me aside

A monster they say

Because I don’t believe

In their way.

Hateful towards something different,

Cast aside for the looks not the same.

Of one blood, of one nature,

But seen as the monster.

Why am I the monster,

When you send people to die?

Why am I the monster,

When you sit on your thrown and dine?

Why am I the monster,

Just because you stay from the fight?

While I toss my full heart,

Into doing what I believe to be right

Side by side

There are glass reflections

One of you, one of me

What do you see

But two of same natures

Two of perfect human decent

We are not different

But in ideas

Yet, you call me a monster

And I resent this

For, please if you may, look a little closer

Don’t you see the cracks

Of your own composure

The breaks in your smile

Reveal a crooked grin

And once colored eyes form black

Truth be told, we are all monsters

And you, sir, are one of the worst.

DemonKitten · Jul 9, 2015

Never beg for mercy

Covered from head to toe in sin

Like blood it sits upon my skin.

There is mercy for what I’ve done

But yet, we hold our tongue.

Simple confessions from our darkened hearts

Like tar, it stains us for what we are.

We hope for forgiveness and weep for a way

Than why is it we never pray.

Fall from heavens grace, we do,

Like devils of a war so cruel.

Our wings are nothing but bits of wire

That hangs from our shoulders like caught on fire.

Frozen stiff in this shallow hell

Like a statue with a hollow shell.

Why do we do nothing as we burn

As if we think this is a lessoned learned.

DemonKitten · Jul 9, 2015

See you in hell

Is that supposed to be a threat

For as you can see

We sort of reside in it

This place we call earth

Is nothing more than an inferno

Full of human sins

What can be worse than this

Threatening me all you must

Drag me to hell

I heard it’s pretty nice

This time of year

Tell me I’m Satan’s child

A demon creation

Can’t be any worse

Than human damnation

Don’t threaten me with hell

When you know not what it is

For all you know its paradise

Or we are living it

How dare you play better

And damn people for eternity

Instead of damning you to hell

I wish you longevity

This idea of an inferno

I think we have misinterpreted

When in truth we are here

And humans deserve it

So, asshole, damning us to hell

I have one thing to say

Welcome to the real hell

And I wish you a very long stay.

DemonKitten · Jul 10, 2015

*Consider this an elegy*

Mournful sense of dread

No one’s truly dead

But still we mourn

With an elegiac look, she stepped

Closer to the edge of nowhere.

I watched her intensely,

As she whispered words of Misery.

How long had she faked it, a smile,

And all the while, I had watched her,

Yet, it never passed, a single concern,

That she was truly lonely.

Had I never took in to consideration,

Her slowly breaking heart;

Let her hide behind laughter,

And sweet cheerful remarks.

Could I not of took the time

To just ask her what’s wrong,

But no, I always remained,

Silently strong.

Out of pride, was it,

The reason I don’t move.

Because some hidden feeling of lose,

I stray away from you.

When all is over

And the days run cold,

My pride will be the only thing

Left to know.

What good is pride

Without reason?

Should I have got up

And plead then?

It was she,

That told me goodbye,

But perhaps it was I,

That brought forth that lie.

Her body’s cold

As the chilled wind hits.

Another step closer

And it all could end.

The desire to reach out chokes me,

But still I remain like a rock.

Though, I deserve it,

Why do I miss you so much?

Should I be all alone

And still it’s so cold.

Turning, just slightly,

I see watered eyes;

They break me to pieces

To the point I’ll die,

Yet, I remain,

Stubborn as ever,

And she walks off the edge

Against my endeavors.

After all that fighting

Not to give in,

I fall to my knees

And cry for nothing.

It’s all over

And I hurt terribly

Because I had to have pride,

Indefinitely?

Could I just of

Let it all go,

My selfish thoughts,

Let my hatred fold?

All I hated

Was my eternal love,

And, still, it

Wasn’t enough.

Loving her still,

Yet, she’s gone

And I was wrong,

All along.

With a look so solemn,

She disappeared,

And with her death

Awoke all my FEARS.

DemonKitten · Jul 10, 2015

Cryptic words of a past not clear

In which it seems the truth I fear

I know what was spoken but cannot accept

What lies, I wish I could forget

Do not open your mind, oh so I beg

If I realize the facts that lay ahead

Is my past just a figment of a life of fiction

What seemed so real now insignificant

God in which I have had no faith

Tell me that this is all a fake

I know I have done wrong, fallen from your grace

Does my birth make it so it is too late

Am I of evil origin

Am I soulless and corrupted

Does my heart reside in a pitch black hole

Do I even hold one that is not icy cold

Oh, how I fear what has been spoken

Finally it has slowly soaked in

This is what I have always known

Why I am so cold and all alone

This is why I am Soulless

DemonKitten · Jul 10, 2015

Green eyes like emerald gold, which shines with an icy cold

Her hair flowed like a ravens wings, holding the blackest of nights

Soul so lost and alone, like a frantic stray cat,

And within her heart she holds the most pitiful of thoughts

She fears the voices in her mind that scream like terrible banshees

And her eyes, oh, does she hide, from her lies of complete sanity

Her mind was like a locked cage with shadows of frightful creatures

Yet her smile held such innocence, the innocence that she was free.

Realize, my faithful love; you are but a trapped dove.

Your wings are clipped, so you see, that’s it

You have no way to be free

I’m sorry my dark snow white

Your stuck in your make shift light

Never to see the sun of a one true love

And feel of true delight.

She was the darkest little girl with a smile full of love,

But I watched her cry,

I watched her fall

And I let her destroy the world….

(Quick summary of the Tempest)

Tempt me with your ideas

Of love at first sight

Tell me stories

Of a tempest night

Draw upon a thought

Of how it should end

Make others suffer

For one man’s plan

Play God on an island

Once ruled by a witch

Inform me of a life

Of solitude without sin

Show how treacherous

Family can be

And whisper tales of

Slavery

Talk about a creature

With looks to fright

A bi-gender spirit

With hope and might

Perhaps, of brothers

With greed of rule

Or of a son

That is a love sick fool

Then end the story

With a bow

As if you wrote it

And it was all planed out

As they sail

Across to leave

So never to return

To the tempest seas

Would you like feedback? Following a recent outburst by a member who doesn't appreciate my efforts to help people improve, I've decided to ask before opening my mouth.

DemonKitten · Jul 11, 2015

@Grey lol, you are welcome to give me feedback. I know some aren't the greatest due to trying other structures, but ways to improve are always welcome. I think I read where that happened. While thing made me cringe

DemonKitten · Jul 13, 2015

Isolated beauty cast aside

They say beware

temptress of the snake

poisonous skank

but beautiful

all the same.

Entranced by something sinister

that's what they believe

because I can't breath

Take my eyes away from sun kissed skin

away from light cracked lips

caressed by her tongue so wet.

Perhaps it is something mystical

that traps my heart

cry's when she's hurt

that defends every gaze

her touch, a sway

a flick of fire burned hair.

Poison graces

tainted kisses

sad eyes look towards me

to love, to cherish

beauty

so venomous.

DemonKitten · Aug 15, 2015

I think I should continue on this one, but it was a quick jot down.

A mere demon with eyes of red

Tempting the world

To fall instead

Of living in this rotten place

Where disaster is your saving grace

Why not come along with me

To see a place beyond disease

Somewhere where one is cherished

By a demon that's slightly hellish

Love expressed in different views

Expressing mine through torturous cues

Is it so wrong for one to desire

A permanent scar that never expires

Can you trust a demon with fur of red

With your heart as well as your head

To love you unconditionally with a slight clause

Being your pain will be my resolve

DemonKitten · Aug 15, 2015

If you ever want me to explain a poem to you feel free to ask. I try and make most pretty easy to pull ideas from.

Reaching, grasping, begging this not to be true,

One minute you were there, now you’ve slipped from view.

Holding so tightly that petite, fragile wrist,

While it slipped, slipped, slipped.

Trying to gain back what has been lost,

As I throw my hand into nothingness, I knew the cause.

It was my fault that you fell into the depths.

It’s my fault you aren’t here and yet,

I still reach, grasp, and beg-

To see that cute little face pop from beyond the dead.

Desiring to hold your adorable hand in mine,

And not let it slip away in time.

Oh help me lord, for I have sinned,

Might as well killed an innocent,

But you just slipped, slipped, slipped-

Right out of my hand and into the pitch-

Of darkness, covered in unknown.

Such, sweetness, with clear blue-green eyes like sea foam-

Crying for me with pitiful sobs as you wailed parting untouched lips.

Barely alive before death took those lips in a kiss-

Ending a fragile life just like this.

It is my fault because I couldn’t hold on.

I am to blame for I watched you slip, slip, slip away,

And I hate myself everyday.

Grey.





That is the color I see





when I watch her leave









Drizzle.





a slight drop of water





along with a thought of horror









Gone.





Just like that





she vanished and I the cause









Concrete.





Still I hear the sound





of her heels as they pound









Defeat.





Is that what this is





How ridiculous









Memory.





A picture in a fading-tone





an image of being all alone









Over.





Her and I as the water stops





a painful reminder of what I've lost

(A different style)

Always wondered what acid was like to try

As your tongue curses at me and tells me to die

Never broke a bone, but always wondered

Until you told me you never loved me and my heart splintered

Thought about taking steel to my wrist

Then you stopped answering my calls so I tried something different

Imagined jumping from the roof of my house

Yet the door slammed in my face and I was kicked out

Considered a noose to my neck

But I was too short and it wouldn’t fit

Believed I would never hurt

Couldn’t imagine you would be my curse

DemonKitten · Dec 17, 2015

(Image found by @P U R I T Y )

Deep beneath the water lays

my hopes and wishes that washed away

buried far into the newly formed sea

my loved ones await for me

Drifting above, yet still below

as I leave in waste my fears and woes

The only hope that lives inside

is this fear that I may not die

White petals lay to waste

the emptiness that dines in haste

But soon I shall be alone

that is a destiny I can't postpone

Wooden boards keep me dry

but still water touches my thigh

The only hope that I desire

Is for my life to expire

Deep beneath this liquid hell

resides a city I knew so well

Diving in I take a deep breath

floating alongside petals to death

DemonKitten · Jan 10, 2016

(@Kanra23, Sorry I got a little too passionate when writing it so it might be a tad intense)

Sometimes I like to imagine

a time in the past

Where I was just a child

Life was a blast

As I sit on a swing set

slightly frightened of heights

I felt like I could conquer the world

But that wasn’t quite right

Because now the only thing I can conquer

Is a moment of peace in my head

Before the voices get louder

And make me wish I was dead

But I have to push through

I have to just stop

Convince myself I’m ALIVE

And that it isn’t worth the cost

Though I know all those truths

And I understand the toll

The words don’t seem to reach me

There is just too big of a hole

If only I could return to that time

Where “how high” was the only fear

And the thought of dying

Was never there

Instead I cry in a shower

all alone

Blaring music to drowned

out my soul

As if I still have one

after the thoughts I’ve brought

Yet I cling to the walls

with the agony I sought

And I scream out the lyrics

of terrible songs

To forget my anxiety

that yells on

This shadowy feeling

I know it will stop

But it will also return

It always does

And when it comes back

I know I will pay

To keep on living

Just one more day.

Grey · Jan 13, 2016

Right, I promised you feedback ages ago, and now I'm going to start actually giving it. I'll start with the first posted and the last posted, to see the difference between then and now, so to speak.

Structurally, I hate it. The huge gaps between lines destroy all rhythm and make it uncomfortable to read in a way that doesn't serve the theme. Speaking of the theme, it's pretty opaque but the reader can make reasonable guesses, and some things don't need to be stated outright. That said, there's no real metre and a weak rhyme, so combined with the poor word choice and meandering length it gets more confusing and ranty than anything. Basically, this is one I'd suggest rewriting entirely, you know?

Thematically I'm right there with you. I know that feeling. The rhyme is more consistent than that first one, but the lack of any punctuation and the big gaps once again hurt the whole thing. I'm glad you keep practicing! You've got potential.

And here's a good example of that potential. Your subject matter is always intensely personal, and I can see you draw a lot from that. This one quite possibly your current high point the work here; it flows nicely, it's got the closest to a solid structure free verse can do, the repetition is well deployed. I think you overuse adjectives a bit, especially in the otherwise great penultimate stanza, but good work!

I'll likely get to the rest - if this was in any way helpful?

I believe I get what your saying about the other two. I will attempt to add more punctuations to things and seperate them into stanzas more often. Some I tend to write as a rant in a way
