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!

[Daytonight]

Well done. I like the way you used capitals to express what you wanted stressed. Great rhyme and flow. Keep up the good work.

This was wonderful to read and re-read and probably re-read again. Each time I discover something new and exciting. Geeze, each time I read this I like it even more. Magical, really.

Awesome poem man, it gave me goosebumps when I read it! We all have dark secrets that we only hope that someday we can reveal to someone without being judged!

[The old me]

very good phrases that really make this poem stand out. very good job

[Maya Storm]

well written... I like the end it spoke to me,
'SHADOW lingers and laughs within,
Your LOVE inside, he cannot win'
This is filled with some many images I had to read it twice... well worth it

[Pearl Drops]

Wow!
That was amazing... Just beautiful and real :)

[SimonitroX]

We all have our evil moments and thoughts. Some of us love to linger in that area when we're in the happy conscience all the time.

Some, wouldn't do the bad deed but thinks it and laughs at the thought but sometimes, it's better to keep within that to join others in our laughter. Boy, we villains really need help.

Anyway, that's a really cool poem and I highly enjoyed it. :)

I love this, it has so much honesty and depth, to put into words our hidden demons - very clever and very readable.
