Inside

With you in my heart
 
  Only darkness grows
       
Scraping....
   Tearing up my insides

desperately trying to escape!

Just, just do it!
....his eyes growl at me to try....
HIT HIM! BEAT HIM!

Slowly
Fading

He's provoking me again
HE KNOWS it gets to me...
HE KNOWS how it makes me...
But it's all a big joke, to beat Mindy as low as she'll go

So I
  F
          A
  L
        L

You threaten, now you call me psychotic

But if you'd had just
STOPPED
you KNEW what you were doing

 Now it's broken again
Something has snapped in me

E M P T I N E S S

My life I wish to take
    He WILL understand...
God knows who really killed me

HE KNOWS who drove me to it...

But to him it's all a big joke

 The pills are coming

CLOSER to my mind
CLOSER to my heart

I'm just
about


gone.

    Good

    It was really well written, and it really gets a point across. I like the pacing, I also found that this part "So I
    F
    A
    L
    L " which I really don't usually enjoy reading at all, was well used and actually added to the quality. So kudos for that and for writing such an expressive piece to begin with!

    this is dark and disturbing... I would say it terrifies me, but it's supposed to... a better releasal in word, then pent up and physical release... I always love how intense and emotional your writes are... so much of you in them... I can only imagine how intense you are in reality... that'd be something i'd find worth seeing...

    This is a powerful writing, I like all the anger and the rush you've given to this poem. The deep colors with the blue and purple really set it off too. Very nice, you're a good writer.

    Beautiful

    This truly wrenches the heart... everyone has their darker side. Either one experiences it or others tell you how it's so. This is where other's warnings aren't heed, that in a sense one must find out for their own means. I had someone how knew me to this depth that they could break me, build me up, and only to break me down again... It's sounds horrid to say, but I loved it. I really got to know a different side of myself. And now I no longer have that, just left with emptiness and I can say I miss it... It aweing what people can really do to you and how you experience growing and being torn by them. Sometimes things get so bad that the thought of death is the only answer. I know I think about it, everyone does at one point in time I believe this to be true. There's a yiddish proverb that came to mind, " If you cannot endure the bad, you'll never live to see the good." Thank you for sharing such an errie, yet hauntingly beautiful part of your world. Take care of yourself and those you love. Never stop writing, there's so much left to say, teach, share, and learn from yourself and others. Always ~Star

    This was heartbreaking, especially reading this as a fellow Christian. You have a very alluring style, and a seemingly kind personality. I wish to read further, as well as continue getting to know you. I am going to throw you on my list of favorites.

    Obscure and Beautiful

    I chose this poem to read for it's darker feel. I experienced so much more while reading through it. However, I'll come back to that in just a moment, when I usually read poetry I often search for poetry with greater meaning (Deecrepit is great at this), but I also look for a substantiated rhyming scheme and proportional stanzas... Yours lacked the rhyming scheme and proportional stanzas but returning back to what I opened up with... I found this poem absolutely amazing for it's darker quality but the power and emotion riddled throughout. You can honestly feel the resonating desperation flow through the poem and the artistic quality of it's immensely great. It's a very dark poem with a very dark conclusion and I enjoyed it immensely. This is a great write and I do wish you the best with the rest of your writing. Please do return the favor it you'd like to do so. Keep writing and please do keep posting.

    This is a very emotional write. Sadly there are people who love to push other people's buttons like you have described here. They love to play emotional mind games. You have captured that feeling very well with this write. The style was quite unique as well. A very nicely written dark piece. Take care and Have fun. Steve

    Dark, vivid, creative, MUST READ!

    Holy smokes! What a write! I clicked on this poem and thought it would be just a poem. I had no idea of what to expect.

    How creative is this? I have not run across another piece anything like it. So visual and dark....so vivid that it draws you right into the darkness.

    WOW! That is a word which I never use. It is not in my vocabulary, actually. But I cannot think of what else to say about this. A most stunning write........dark, but vividly stunning!

    Wow... this is really full of emotions, the part that draws me into the write is:
    He's provoking me again
    HE KNOWS it gets to me...
    HE KNOWS how it makes me...
    But it's all a big joke, to beat Mindy as low as she'll go

    So I

    Deeply emotional write.

    No if this is happening I am just spiffy enough to make him the one that gets offed. But this is really a good dark write and I waited for it to come back up so that I could find out what this one was all about. This has a great deal of depth to it and you know so many times I do wonder how many women have done this in the same manner. Okay I am done and hopefully it will be posted again so I can reread as I do most of the poetry here.
