When My Darkness Takes Hold

When the sun falls down,
And the moon won't rise,
That's when I will be
plotting your demise.

The ground will dye black;
The skies will run red;
My anger will show
and soon you'll be dead.



These feelings, swelling up inside me.
These emotions, building up within me.
This... RAGE, this ANGER, this complete and utter sensation of ANGST.
My sorrow, my passion, my love and my pain.
All of this will turn in the end.



One day, I will not be able to control the feelings, raging inside.
One day, I won't let you walk over me, and just let it slide.
One day, soon, you will feel my anger, my sorrow, my unbridled rage.
One day, you'll feel it, my heart will burst forth from it's lucid cage.



I'll make your world dark, I'll make your eyes bleed,
I'll turn your existence into suffering and pain.
I'll show you the things that you've brought unto me
and twist your being, driving you insane.

I won't let you get away, not this time, not anymore.
I cannot forgive you, not any of you, for my strife.
When the grounds starts to burn, and the rain starts to pour,
I'll show you, my true Judgement, my Darkness, my Life.

Author notes

...I let out some emotions...

There are people in this world, that do not understand what they've done, what they do.  They do not feel remorse, or sorrow.

I feel bad for every terrible thing I've done, I feel remorse, regret, I feel awful, for even hurting someone in the slightest bit.  I feel bad for leading people on, for breaking someone's vase, for tearing a new shirt.

But I never, NEVER, seem to get that from anyone.  They do not care.  They just do not fucking care.

I can be special too, damn it.  And you will see.  One of these days, I won't be that shining light.  I'll be that overwhelming darkness, and then you will not escape me.  I will not be that Hero.  I'll be the Antagonist for once.

Maybe then I'll feel better... -Dan

    very good

    Hey Dan,
    I understand how rage can build up. And like me, you turn against violence, and just write whatever you feel. To me, true inspiration comes from deep within a person's soul when they are set free from imprisonment. I loved this poem, not because it was angry, but because it was truthful. Showing emotions that not many writers can do. I need to talk to you by the way, don't forget to message me.

    I love it!....I think that is all I can say..Your amazing!

    "When the sun falls down,
    And the moon won't rise,
    That's when I will be
    plotting your demise.

    The ground will dye black;
    The skies will run red;
    My anger will show
    and soon you'll be dead."

    I love the visuals this makes me get....I love how I can feel the emotion..delicously dark.

    Very excellent writting..

    It's not the poem that did it for me but the following authors comment. That my friend is something I have felt and sometimes still feel when I give in just a hair I seem to slip into my depression and feel strangled by all those who I thought loved me. I don't know how to describe it but I'm glad someone did. I always seem to feel better after I've vented on here but it always returns. Always. You have to confront the true problem. For me it's usually my love. Thank you for sharing. This one is going down in the books!

    your fellow poet,

    youllneverknow

    Wow, this was extreamly great. Sent a chill down and back up my spine. I loved the entire poem, but this part stuck out to me:
    The ground will dye black;
    The skies will run red;
    My anger will show
    and soon you'll be dead.

    I liked that a lot, the way you described things. Applauds to you.

    Take Care,
    Jasmine

    These feelings, swelling up inside me.
    These emotions, building up within me.
    This... RAGE, this ANGER, this complete and utter sensation of ANGST.
    My sorrow, my passion, my love and my pain.
    All of this will turn in the end.

    While that stanza shows powerful emotion, the idea was merely repeated in the one after it. Though it does well for a split second of rage with a dual sensation of the calm before the storm.

    The flow was nice, but the font color was hard to read against the black background.
