I am the blackened thoughts of the mind
Creating dreams of horror all of the time
The body may move as if on its own
But I assure you no remorse will be shown
I take the knife, gun, rope or the saw blade
Inside I convulse and leave memories stained
With hands clasped on a weapon of choice
I distort this world and give violence a voice…
I am sickening secrets
I am blistering rage
I am hatred unbound
I am all of your pain
I am the fantasies that you seek to hide
You tell no other but with me you confide
I am the nameless, soulless, black, cold abyss
Commanding you to stab the blade and then twist
To mutilate and tear my victims apart
To crack the ribcage and to extract the heart
There is an evil that lurks behind your eyes
All your malicious acts are secretly mine
I am defiling excess
I am prolonging the pain
I am the shadows of self
Your puppet to my game
I take everything you can give, I steal all that I need
Satisfied by the blood, take time to watch them bleed
If you scratch the scars they peel back to expose
A dark past, my domain of the life I gladly chose
I contaminate your weak mind, crack the boundaries of sin
I am the ink black hatred that you can’t keep locked within
Inside my malignant womb, nourished on your deeds
If you could live forever, I would be eternity
I let you choose out the girl
I let you bring her back home
I give you hope I am gone
So that you can be alone
but
Your tears are wine to my feast
Your eyelids curtain my show
I Pull the puppet strings
I orchestrate the killing blow
So later when I am done and you wake with blood drenching your skin
You can only imagine the hysterical mocking laughter you bear within

I believe these two lines could be reworked and made more powerful than the stretched rhyme that you have at the moment.
Inside the mind of a serial killer was an understatement fella. This, was beyond just inside the mind. I do believe this was, reliving a previous life, or possibly finding your own empathetic way of justifying the cause. Either way, I'm truly impressed.
(( Just as a side note, on your author's page, it says you're nineteen, wouldn't you be twenty now? =) ))

This was a very interesting poem, though, there were some bad rhymes in there... it had some great imagery though. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck.

woah. dude, thats incredible. might be your best yet. its so unashamedly brutal, yet beautiful at the same time. This is such an insight. I love how you are never afraid to confront the most difficult and grostesque aspects of humanity.

Sad
Within the minds of people resides the dark side . Some keeps it resesed and it hangs on a fine line .
To cross over even once it feeds the seed
For the mind begins to control your everyneed . Blind violence is the worst kind for they themselves cant stand pain .
