I Scare Myself

A poem that references a real event in my life.

I scare myself sometimes you know,

and though you'd never think it so,

if you looked inside my mind,

a horror there is what you'd find.

 

I am not an evil person mind,

I am for most people very kind,

but cross me friend and you will see,

that there is darkness inside me.

 

I once was mugged by scumbags who,

thought less of me than most people do,

and tried to steal my personal goods,

to feed their addicton to some drugs.

 

Do not let my appearance decieve,

though short and thin my body seems,

throughout my life i've fought for fun,

and damage ive caused to more than one.

 

So when they pulled a knife on me,

my dark side did announce in glee,

that I perhaps should take that knife,

and drain that fool of all his life.

 

But my better half regained control,

from the side which murder I was told,

would satisfy my darker needs,

and happily would watch them bleed.

 

So lucky they are that I left it there,

for my darker side just would not care,

and would delight in hurting them,

and not to win some prize or gem,

 

but because i let my mind go free,

and to be frank it tickles me.

So please take care when threatening me,

or the violent side i'll let you see.

 

I scare myself sometimes you know,
and though you'd never think it so,
if you looked inside my mind,

a horror there is what you'd find.

I saw no spelling mistakes, but there may have been and i was too busy being impressed and astounded with the wonderful poem i was reading. I liked the poem, because it releases that dark side most feel the need to keep hidden. But it shows you welcome any creativity that comes to you, be it light or, in this case, dark. Great job! I loved it!! :)

nice.

Great write on the Dark Half I think all people have. Just most of us, like you in this poem, can control it most times.

A different and dark read. I loved the struggle here between two sides of your nature. I could definitely see Alex in this =)
