Dark-Princess• Show poetry

I have been writing poetry since my childhood. It has served as my emotional outlet. Whenever I am feeling really down I seem most inspired to write. Therefore, most of my poetry is on the darker side. Writing has always helped me to let go of my feelings whether good or bad...And every once in a while...I have beautiful thoughts too...



This poem touches my heart deeply and profoundly.It is my all time favorite poem.Published in 1827...


Written By Edgar Allan Poe



Alone

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were-I have not seen
As others saw-I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I lov'd, I lov'd alone.
Then-in my childhood-in the dawn
Of a most stormy life-was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery wich binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold-
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by-
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.
