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!

[Alice]

I very much enjoyed this piece and I think you did a GREAT job of putting it together. I can definitely feel emotion coming from every word that's blended together. "Strength it feeds from those who care" - my favorite part. Well done!

[Bree]

Wow. There are no other words I can use to describe this, Legy. It's simply... oh my gosh... it's beautiful. I absolutely love it.

That was great I could image this being read at one of those nice and dark poetry and coffee shops!

Whoa, I can really relate to this right now, especially the first and second stanzas....great job, this is awesome :) The only tiny thing I might suggest editing is the comma in the first line of the fourth stanza...I'm not sure if you misplaced it...but that's being extremely picky, this was an excellent piece!! :) I'm adding it to my favorites :D
