Atrabilious Speaks

This is the first name poem i have tried, every line starts with a letter of the word in order. Its meant to personify the overbearing feeling of depression (hence the name) and suicidal ideations

Animated by force of will, by law I am the Infinite
Thou thou may not know my name, thou shalt know Atrabilious
-
Rejection is my nature and reap I do, indeed
All that I am is greed
-
Before thee is the blackest bile and shadow of the moon
Inexorable annihilation, the trap that consumes
-
Let the warning come as the cemetery smog
Insidiously, I creep the rafters
Obey! Even thyself shalt thou mock
Unable to hear past my discordant laughter
-
Savage manic melancholy
