How Bad is Bad?

How Bad is Bad?

She said to let her go in alone.

I replied, "Let’s go in alone together."

Two lonely natives, city lives, and living wild; though, raised to love...

We intermingled with others, while searching for a better name.

Atticus, she's dragging the lake.

She loves the pain, she is beyond dangerous, she’s insane!

She will never make it to the morning because at night she always forgets my name.

She's murder, robbing me of my thoughts and well being.

The echoes of her darkest words ever said bleed through my veins.

Mental tattoos, far from being forgotten.

The pain is refreshed as my heart is rotting.

Soon I’ll be heartless, the question that remains is will she take my soul?

Who is she?

She is me!

Seems more like the inner demon we hold inside us which takes over us only too often...

"Two lonely natives, city lives, and living wild; though, raised to love..."
This line attracted me the most. Also "let's go in alone together" was a good one.
Interesting twist at the end.. I enjoyed reading this.

Indeed and I have written about my inner demon in other poems as well.
I'm glad you like those lines Yumma!

You're welcome, sNs! A pleasure reading this :))

The inner demons, yes, but also symbolic of split personality disorder.....one soul, dual entities fighting over it. The key is which one will win. Not because it is the stronger side, but because you let it.

A dark write. Brooding and intense.

Amazing! This is thrilling. Your dark companion represents maheim and that control we exhibit not to kill them all. Thank you for sharing and God Bless

Whoa, I really like this. It made me think.
The lines are very catchy and well written
The style and spunk to it is really refreshing too
Good job!

It becomes so bad in a good way when you mentioned it was you. That was dark, sad and vivid poetry in there. Good emotions all around. I need a little more imagery though. All in all, well done. :)

gripping psychological experience on the dark side .. i think you could leave off the final confessional line .. for me it weakens your very vivid experience ..the reference to Atticus is very intriguing .. great title for the poem .. this:
"The pain is refreshed as my heart is rotting." just kills the optimist in me .. i can be positive to naïveté .. ;} fine piece of dark poetry says i!

Yes she was always you. The good, the bad, both fighting for superiority. Only coming together at the end. Like poems like this.

I'm glad that you did Paul. Thank you for reading.

Well done I can really relate to this, just this morning I woke up thinking if our minds are as powerful to create negative manifestations, think what we could achieve if we turned it around to positive manifestations!!! I'm working on that today and everyday after that - brilliant work :)

[sinNsincerity]

But you can turn negative manifestations into a positive one with in a split second. It just takes understanding of your on mind and being fully conscientious. I once read a book about hermetic teachings and one chapter spoke about polarities and it totally changed me. It showed me that if someone was pissing me off, I could easily stop my thoughts and those feeling and flip it upside down because mad and happy lie in the same spectrum. they are both the same and we have a choice in picking which side we want to dwell on.

wow that sounds like a fascinating book, I'm going to look for a similar one - it makes it total sense, the thoughts you feed are going to be the prominent ones - thank you, that really helps me, you've no idea! :)
