The Dark Side

People put your guns up

And fill this place with gun shots

Get up and shoot that bullet of fate

For all of us in here are desperate

 

Don’t let your heart drown in fright

Live it around, Go on and fight

Get closer, aim to the head

Because it’s hard to find a true friend

 

Come on, shoot right through the soul

Let it go, let it explode

Fire it and let the red rosebud bloom

Petals scattered in the spiral of doom

 

All of us in here are crazy

You can’t deny this dark side of reality

Beat it, get through it

Rush it and break it

 

 

 

The pain will always follow you around

Go run away and it will haunt you down

Awww... this is quite dark but very truthful. Monsters are definately made..
A person changes due to their experiences and trauma. Depending how bad it is... it can drive the person over the edge and make that person do things..

So haunting but spectacular.. =) i like it.

aww.. this is...dark...and pretty scary. XD
of course, everyone of us is a monster in our own ways. you've delicately shown it in this poem. :) the imagery is brilliant.

"Don’t let your heart drown in fright Live it around, Go on and fight" that is a really great statement.

"The pain will always follow you around
Go run away and it will haunt you down" and this one is very powerful. this summed up all the emotions felt in this piece.. ;) thanks for sharing this poem!!

This is nicely written. It seems as if you had a hard time finding some things to rhyme, but it worked out very nicely overall And flowed pretty well. Good job!

Scary poem, a marvelous subject. I jumped out of my skins after the poem and the text only made it scarier. Now how will I sleep at night? Just kidding. It was a great read, unique. Imagery used very well.. your description "monsters.....monsters are made" cld be a better title.. at least that's what i think.

That is quite scary. "Because it’s hard to find a true friend" Really, really, very true. An awesome poem, Desmund. xx ;)
