Author's Notes: Rated Teen for the creepiness factor.

This poem is meant to be read out loud with the reader's voice becoming more and more intense as the poem goes on; the reader should be almost screaming (in intensity not loudness) for the last stanza.

Um, I wrote this in a really random "I'm so depressed I want to curl up in a corner of my room, go to sleep, and never wake up" mood.

The original was awful... Until I realized it had a really good driving beat in most of the lines... So I fixed it up and WALLA! Here it is, nice and awesome.


Blatant Misgivings

Overwhelming sadness,
Capturing my heart;
Ransacks my spirit,
Looking for my soul.

Fingers ever reaching,
Sickness ever searching;
Nothing but destruction
Leaving in its wake.

Blackness swallows Light;
Despair breaks all hearts,
Never to repair;
Hope is now loss.

My skin’s all aquiver
Trying not to fear:

Darkness, all-consuming;
Dankness, ever-stressing;
Evil, always-birthing;
Death, always-lurking.

No Light pales the Dark,
No Comfort lifts the Dank,
No Purity casts out Evil,
No Life relieves Death.

All alone…
No one ‘round…
No one hears my screams!


A/N: Yeah. I'd like to know what you thought of it. I don't write much stuff like this, so I'd honest would like to know.
