It Surrounds Me....

About the darkness.

It comes without mercy.

It leaves just the same.

It infuses dreams of death and sorrow into your innocent mind.

Gruesome as it is, it surrounds me.

I live with it. I get enveloped in it and smile.

I try to save others, but it whispers to me," Don't do it. You know you don't want to."

I try to fight it.

Truly and honestly.

A tear falls down on my face as it pulls me back in to do its dirty work.

It hands me all the poison that I should put in dreams.

I cry and think to myself.

I put on the face of a warrior and accept it.

I leave.

I go to my room and swallow this poison.

I will have to suffer from this darkness.

You,as innocent people, I want you to flee to your own safe heavens.

The tears bludgen my face as I dream of every possible,gruesome,dark dream imaginable.

The darkness surrounds me.

Wow! I loved this poem!

Your descriptions were so well-chosen I even got scared for a moment! Darkness is its own world. You captured it in just in twenty lines! That's a huge achievement! Seriously. I enjoyed reading this and hope to read more. Half the words you said I can either not pronounce or define. Hehe, it was just like five... or seven... or eight words. Anyway, my advice would be to avoid repetition. The word "Gruesome" was repeated. It's not bad, but it's been already preview...
