I dug up a couple of my old poems... they're pretty dark... ANyway, hope someone enjoys the read.


Tomb Ridden Land

I'm a puddle of blood wrapped up in your mind
Wet flesh on leather with chains I will bind
The face in the mirror brings you disgrace
The world in your eyes is an empty place
Tearing you down from your throne
Now that they've gone, you're all alone
Letting go fear is within your reach
The enemy lines you have now breached
You try to fight but it's too late
Destruction falls on those who won't wait
Gone is your mind in the twisted war scene
Covered in blood I hear your soul scream
You're moving on but can't let it go
Which way is up you'll never know
Dementia pours from corroded veins
Walking upon the dead hero plains
Forgotten souls of society's blame
You're just a number without a name
Will you follow among the blind herd...
Will you change and have the last word?
Come with me, King, let's make a stand
Out on the fields of tomb ridden land

Negative Thoughts

I am the hemorrhoid on your ass
I'm the kidney stone you cannot pass
I'm the obstruction causing you to choke
I'm every word you wish you never spoke
I am the black tar stuck on your lung
I am the battle you have not won
I am the ashes left in your bowl
I am your wrinkles as you grow old

I am the gray hair that covers your head
I will not rest until you are dead
I am your lies, though some might be true
I am the cancer that feeds off of you
I'm every thought, in the negative sense
I'm the weakness that steals your defense
I am the wound that will never heal
I'm the numbness when you choose not to feel

I am the evil thoughts inside your head
I make you live when you'd rather be dead
I am the cough that always persists
I am the sin you cannot resist
I am your suffering, trauma and pain
I'm here to hurt you, again and again
I am the darkness when you find light
I give you no reason to stand up and fight

I am the voice that screams inside you
I'm the only one who doesn't care what you do
I am your headache when you cannot sleep
I am the promise that you'll never keep
I am the itch that you cannot reach
I am the student you cannot teach
I am the beginning and I am the end
I'm your enemy, never your friend

ty guys, I was gonna post another one, but as I typed it out I was really grossed out by how sick it was so I deleted it... it was also from 2001... I bet Death's Treaty would REALLY dig it.

I'm particularly fond of the dark style of writing. You're a very passionate writer.
