Caught

You tired to bring me down to your level

I saw all of you, evil and scorned

Your soul marked by your actions

Burned and torn; you feed upon flesh

You drank the blood and energy from them

Thinking you were so prefect

You had me within your grasp

I escaped and freed myself

I saw and know what you are really like

No darkness could compare

The light you avoided

You lashed out on me upon the rejection

No longer would I kneel for you

I am free and never to be caged again!

Is it the darker side of himself that he seeks to escape from? The one that runs him down and makes him feel worthless? I would love to know the inspiration for this particular piece of peotry

First thank you for the review

This came from a breakup of a very toxic relationship. She never read the poem.

I imagine it was very cathartic. Well done for bringing something positive out of such a bad experience

[Mathew Jennings]

Very intense. I feel some hate coming from this work.

[Michael Wright]

NOt so much pre se hate Just a large amount of anger

[pikachulover]
