Born of fire and raised in sin,
waiting here for the chaos to begin.
I have my wings yet I cannot fly,
and though I live I shall never die.
I sit here and await my demise,
while this fire lights up the skies.
Forgotten and broken,
a victim to extreme emotion.
Slowly I begin to fade and deteriorate,
these flames slowly consuming my hate.
I feel the darkness come,
my body going numb.
As the end starts I let out a grin,
born of fire raised in sin.
Author notes
I used option 1 and 3, and I must say I'm proud of this spur of the moment piece.

Interesting piece. I liked the tangling of fire and sin together.......worked exceptionally well with this piece. It has great flow and the rythme scheme is magnificent. Dark and imaginative. Good job.

thanks for the entry
-
I like this style
I love your rhyme, flow was good. Not forced.
I also like the way you wrapped this one up with the same line you opened it up with.

And proud of it you should be. You paint a dark and morbid picture here, and one that should be terrifying to those who cannot identify with this situation. One of your best!

"I have my wings yet I cannot fly,

Wow. This poem is amazing. I love the title/last line, they tie into this piece and weave it into something truly deep. I love the rhyming as well--I love to read good rhyming poems--as well as the darkness in it. Great write!

Thank you very much, most of my "work" has a darkness to it. It's just something that flows out of me.
-
-
I understand completely, as the darkness flows in my veins as well.
-
-
Well it's good to know that there is a fellow soul out there with a darkness similar to mine.
