scream

the screams of my demons increase

they won’t cease

i get moments of peace

but they fade just as quick

as they came

i’m confused

i don’t know who’s to blame

and this pain will remain

til the day I’m insane

or deceased.

no it won’t go away

i’m dismayed

and it’s useless to say

i’m okay

cause it will not decrease

and my thoughts have been wrong

for so long

i’m afraid

that these chains are too strong

and I can’t be released

i get better then worse

and then worse

and the doves

turn to vultures

i’m cursed

and they’re waiting to feast

and my only defense

is this verse and this pen

nothing’s worse

and i’ve  been

torn apart

piece by piece

so with terror in my heart

and a storm in my head

and the feeling that I would be

better off dead

i’ll still always believe

there’s a light up ahead.

in the end i’ll transcend

and i’ll finally

know peace.

I really like the rhyme scheme here. I was continually surprised and pleased to find the next rhyming line, and it flowed very well in that aspect.

This does remind me of a lot of the very cliche and overdone stuff that I wrote in high school, though. Perhaps you should try applying this rhyme scheme to a very unusual topic and see where that gets you.

Very visual. I always love to read your work, I can't even find one thing that you could do to improve on this. Well done.
