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!

This leaves a longing in my chest for something I don't understand. Your words are beautiful, dark and light, and very deep. I'm regretting not reading this sooner!

deliberation and desperation,agony and persistence,hopelessness and hope-each phrase of this beautifully worded poem brings out powerful,passionate emotions..this is sheer excellence !

I re-read this multiple time, and I found it more amazing each time. I must say this poem is outstanding. Great Read!

Pretty Good

[Clarisse Nanoit]

I like this. Overall, this piece provokes thought, which is one of the things I look for when determining whether a poem sucks or not. Yours does NOT! =) I enjoyed reading.

I like this a lot. Something we all do and often don't realize is in growing up in our homes we often take on the weaknesses as well as the strengths of our parents even as we are trying to rebel against them. But your poem gives hope to a reality that some often don't realize. We can break the cycle if we try hard enough. Good job excellent write.
