You

You are a monster,

tailored perfectly for me.

You exist solely for my destruction.

You torment me with your lies

and distorted philosophies.

You feed me with your thoughts.

You poison me with your curses,

polluting my mind with your shade of evil.

 

You are my ultimate definition of hell

and you hold me captive in your abyss.

You refuse to free me from your grasp

for I am your favorite prisoner.

You delight in my vulnerability,

my faint resolutions,

my vain attempts to escape.

 

You applaud my falls,

taking every error

as a chance to condemn me.

You laugh at my virtues

and you question my beliefs.

You take pleasure in my cries of agony;

my screams are music to your ears.

 

You wipe away every memory of bliss,

draining me of life,

emptying me of myself.

You strip me off of my heart

in your desire to make me be like you.

You are my monster, my enemy.

I am you and you are me.

Blue,

We all have that component within our brain..The more that you build up the good part of you the less this enemy will attack..Each choice to do what is right weakens this enemy..I enjoyed reading this work for it is very expressive and emotive..I believe that most can relate to this enemy of which you speak..Thanks for the friendship invitation..

"The more that you build up the good part of you the less this enemy will attack." That is perceptive, thanks a lot, Sara! :)

You are quite welcome..Sara

Wow, that's so awe-inspiringly tormented. Sensually crafted. Reads like a litany of the shadow self. From this it seems that all that aspires to our demise rests within us. And I tend to agree with this idea. By aknowledging the shadow we deprive it of the dark closet which is it's element of suprise.

Hey Blue , I read' You" and i must say that you have piece together some unhelpful dynamics that can be a lesson to one self...good write..

They say people are their own worst enemies, and you have explored that theorem in exquisitely horrific detail, Blue. The strength of your emotional outburst is striking, and hopefully poetry provides catharsis for you in your struggles. God is love and He loves you even when you don't love yourself.

"God is love and He loves you even when you don't love yourself." What a lovely reminder, Joyce. I often forget this truth. Thank you so much! :)

Wow! Isn't that personifying one's intellectual, inner self with which we introspect! it beautifully portrays one's doubt, desire, hate and internal war that rages!! nice work Blue

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Thanks a lot, Vidushi! ;)

[Cassie]

This is done so nicely, good thing is this is poetry, there exists no one who does this apart from satan.. Good one blue.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Thank you so much, Cassie!! Glad you liked this. :)

well crafted examination of our own worst enemy within. I thought the line, "tailored perfectly for me" set the direction.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

That's my favorite line. Thanks, Rutherford! ;)

[Maskedthoughts]

I love this! the emotions you captured, the imagery, the structure, everything! i like how you tied all your ideas together and made it sound so dark but yet so profound. Awesome job!

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Wow, I'm so flattered! Thank you so much! ;)
