I am dead

by ForsakenBeautyXx   Jan 22, 2009


I walk in the room
turn on the light
as darkness surrounds me
i flip the switch
the light burnt out
i rummage and ramble
i trip and i fall
i find a flashlight
but the batteries are dead
my hand gets cut
but no blood falls
my skin is dry
i cannot cry
there are no tears

i wake up
with a sweat covered body
wondering what just happened
i think to myself
what a terrible nightmare
as i reach for the lamp
to click it on
the light burns out

darkness surronds me
thats when i know
i am dead

i remember the sound
of my own scream
when the lights went out
i heard him in my home
only to come to me
i turn on the light
but it is burnt out
i grab a flashlight
but it is dead
he comes up the stairs
and cuts my hand
and then
darkness surronds me
and i am dead

    This poem was extremely intense. You used no rhyming and that was a good decision. this poem did not need any rhymes in it. Somehow you have managed to have a good flow of words, nice word choices.

    You also described a scene very well without actually having to say what it was. [If that makes sense]

    I dont suggest you change anything in this poem, it's perfectly well written just the way it is.

    5/5

    Oh my gosh!!!!!!! Nice!! I knew you could do one well ^_^
    I like the repition of the lights being burnt out--it was tastefully, and not over, done.
    You've managed to still have a good flow and a solid form without rhyming, and the directness of 'I am dead' is pretty intense.
    "but no blood falls
    my skin is dry'

    love those lines! great job!
