That Is My Sin

The darkness has been within me
Ever since I came out
The womb
I have no room
Pain has left me without
So soon
It will consume
Me inside out
So until then
I will continue using this pen
Bleeding on this paper
That is my sin.

    I like this one alot,
    I loved the lines
    'It will consume
    Me inside out'

    Great write

  • wow this is an amazing write, props to you.

  • lots of emotion but not a lot to the poem. It's kinda cliche and too simple.
    It's just not very powerful. And the random rhyming does not help.


    Thanks, Nikk

  • So until then I will continue using this pen, bleeding on this paper that is my sin.
    i love this line! its a great write. just check the 2nd line? absolutely brilliant

  • GOOD JOB!
    i really love the last two lines,
    "Bleeding on this paper
    That is my sin."

    thumbs up bro.

    I like it.. its short wit rhyme and yet it still has alot of deep meaning to it. u shoved a load of emotion in a small poem... that takes talent.. good job! keep it up

  • wow

    Pain will consume you from within most definetly,now what kind of pain is it? Met a poet who said if you want to write all you have to do is slit your wrist and bleed on the paper,enjoyed

    Wow. Extremely powerful write and it was SO beautiful. There was one small error in line 3 'every' should be 'ever' but everyone makes small typos. Great write!

  • In so short words this is great! You dont have to capitilize every line though. Sometimes it actually makes it look better. But its your choice. I love this!

    I like the ending, that is my sin lol

  • I really like the metaphor here of putting words on paper being the bleeding out of your sins. This is a great piece of writing.
