Dark Poem

Just a little something I made up for an English class at school. I'm in year 8 and poetry is easy. I don't do it much but when I do I'm proud of the outcome. Some of you might think its a little dark but I write this to change what some of you may think about the world and its inhabitants. The world is sometimes a cruel place, but always remember that there is good in the world too and that's awesome. By the way, I'm not just some EMO kid being Emo. I'm a normal person like you and I love to write stories.

The Wicked Path Of Destiny/ The Death Of Gods Pets- Mankind

©
I walk the face of earth once more,
a mindless puppet, my strings are torn.
the creaky bones, the bad eyesight,
yet the chance to turn wrong to right.
wars-a-waging, old mans guilt,
the worlds now on more then just a tilt.
parents weeping, children slain,
bloody thoughts, fear will reign.
I look in the shadows, a creature did lurk,
he whispered to me, hiding a smirk.
"Thou shalt be killed if thee can't find,
the demon lurking in thou mind."
So off I ventured, to quench my thirst,
of corpses piled with hearts-a-burst.
And on that quest what did I see?

  • Poignantly lovely. Several of my thoughts found their echo in your words. I do not think this poem marks you as EMO, rather as a sensitive young person. Most times, we forget that sensitiveness breeds perspective sensibilities. Keep voicing your thoughts.

  • I love this poem! It is so beautiful and touching. You have a true gift, and this is coming from someone who usually doesn't care for poetry. Keep writing. You are amazing!
