The World's Worst "Emo" Poem
As the forbidden night falls
I surrender to its call
And dripped my tears of pain
Red from my wrists like rain
To the emptiness I cry "Save me!"
While my heart screams kill me now
Paint life on my skin
All the tears I held within
Like a ghost in a crowd
These words I'll never say aloud
Go! Catch my shadow
Cast my feelings out the window
Pain! Pain! Pain!
It leaves a scarlet stain
On no bleach can remove
Like the emperor that lost his groove
Twist the knife just to feel
Let the dark my spirit steal
And my nightmare haunt the day
666 mortal sins away
Posers, preps, and jocks
They stole my fishnet socks
I'll paint the halls black
And I'll never come back
Pain and angst my constant company
The atmosphere the world can't see
The holes in my heart
They gush my mind, so morbid dark
I shred the pictures of me
For every clip they kill a tree
Make my feature monochrome
Oh god. I'm 30 and alone
