A Poem A Day Keeps Your Writing Okay

Hatred Burns Hatred almost burns but is reluctant to ignite Her love for you attempts to dampen the flame But once the coals burn so hot the fire is uncontrollable Irreversible. It builds every second Every day. The flame begins to ignore the water Tfuel comes too fast I don't want it to ignite, but I have no control How could you do this to someone you "love"?

The world goes dark in a flash of light Your life ends without time for fright Falling down into a dark hole, where could it go? You follow, blind Just go with your heart It won't be long until you leave the dark; It can't  be long until you leave the dark Put your faith in it Carry it with your heart Wrap up your hope, so it can't fall apart Be sure of yourself, and I'll be sure of you This I know is true Until the truth fails Until the lie comes through Until the day I stop loving you The pain will rip The pain will tear How does it not leave a mark there? But it does, it's inside It's somewhere where it can hide It awaits the day, you think you're okay And then the pain comes out to play It'll tear at your thoughts, rip at your mind Make you leave your sanity behind Why would you want it? What good would it do? It only exists to make a fool out of you.

The Light I fall down a dark hole, and I'm instantly suffocated by the pressure of my demons They rip at my skin They tear at my flesh I scream in panic and pain Agony swirls through my veins Like the deadly venom of a cobra My mind goes blank My Soul seems to fade away My demons are stronger than ever Just as I think I'm going mad all the screaming inside my head quiets A tiny light glows through the sand The demon's claws loosen around my windpipe Air fills my lungs, and the demons fade into the shadows. The light is not alone Its friends are hidden under the sand Cold, wet and heavy it tries to bury me too Yet still, I struggle Still, I strain Still, I dig without a shovel I grovel on hands and knees "Where are they? Where are they?" Panic consumes Will I ever find them? Will the other lights ever shine through? The sand rises, higher and higher A time glass, counting down What will happen when it stops? Will the lights expire? I can't allow it I can

Birdie My heart aches for you Every fiber of my being cries your name My eyes burn with invisible tears But like a bird, you fly away I must let you free No matter how much it hurts me I must lock the windows I must close the doors I must slam the shutters and never let you return Because my birdie has flown away and taken my happiness with it

Tears The tears come before you even knew they were on the way Hot; Salty; Choking; You can't breath They strangle you Wracks your chest and throat with pain There's no way to escape it You can't make it go away All there is to do is wait it out Maybe one day you'll be yourself again

Humanity Betrayal is the feeling in your throat when you look the one you love in the eyes for the last time As they turn away from you for the arms of another Hatred is the trembling in your hands as it slowly spreads its poison through your entire body Unrestrainable; Uncontrollable; Letting it flow free feels like flying Until you begin to fall. Anger and Betrayal swirling together-- A tornado of destruction It engulfs you Destroys you Takes you over like a demon You don't know what you're doing You can't stop it It destroys the very thing that made you feel this way in the first place You suppose joy should take its place But--           No The weight of guild settles into your veins, pulling you back to who you really are           A sniffling, sniveling, roiling, broiling, pile of Humanity
