Slip Into My Darkness

Come with me my friend.

There lies a side to me

I have kept from the world,

An animal within this man.

A longing for pain,

For my own self-destruction,

It’s here in my heart,

Take a look and feel it.

A knife in my brain,

It twists in the night.

During the day I’m quite fine,

But at night I’m in fright.

Tell me, dear friend, please,

Do you feel it as well?

Buried within the confines

Of our it’s-all-right mentality?

Or is it something I live alone,

A personal monster, waiting

To hit,

To strike,

To lash,

To slash,

To…

Kill.

"Come with me my friend.
There lies a side to me

I think a lot of people are like that, having a darker side they keep hidden. I know I am. This is a powerful poem and the way you describe the emotions is really great. Nice work!!!

This is a rad piece ok...yes I'm the nerd that still says rad!! lol
First of I love where you put "Tell me, dear friend, please,
Do you feel it as well?
Buried within the confines
Of our it's-all-right mentality?" because this describes me!!
Good Job!

I like the intimacy of it, I was drawn in. Great job, and I can definately identify!
