Dark Secrets

Lights Out... You can't find what you can't see. I’ve become a clouded face, unrecognized

DARK SECRETS

 

These eyes Tainted and Scarred,

The Heart restless behind bars,

A Soul lost between then and now

 

I’ve become a clouded face, unrecognized,

A Shadow within materializes

Unaware, there’s no time to prepare,

Unleashing its fury for all to bear

 

Strength it feeds from those who care,

Twisting and turning words and stares

Form is now what I once was,

It’s Poison if any… One of Love

 

Shadow now I, fight I try...

For those I hurt, my words are lies

Understand I cry, I feel your pain,

Ball and Chain, I am restrained

 

Pleasure filled, Darkness slips away,

Face left to those I've betrayed

Strength to hold on, You reach for my hand,

Smiling and Scarred, Your eyes Understand

 

SHADOW lingers and laughs within,

Your LOVE inside, he cannot win

I love the minimalism! I love the shortness of the statements to really pack the punch of the emotion displayed! The only constructive work I would do is maybe some constructive imagery to tie the emotions to something I can see or feel, it feels alot like there are so many things felt blending all together I don't know where to start!

Great job, keep it up!

[Kat Collins]

I can feel the raw pain, the emotion, the bruised and angry soul that is straining to be heard. It is an incredible thing when one who loves us despite our agony and fury, who sees past the facade we push forth and is willing to dig deeper to see our soul. You exposed it well, my friend...

OMG.... that is like stepping into your skin and seeing out only reeling in the words your heart releases with such a naked speed as to reveal every feeling and thought instantly. That was powerful, nice work now go sit down you deserve a rest..lol

A beautiful piece of writing :) It's almost haunting. It's straight to the point and yet it has maximum impact upon those who read it. I love the dark imagery too.

I very much look forward to reading more of your work!

Great job Legacy. Keep it up.

This is a very dark poem revealing the beast inside us all. We, without much effort on our own, hurt and damage those we care about the most, but there is one thing Shadow can not destroy; the truest and most pure love sealed deep inside our hearts.
I loved it.
