The Darkness Consumes Me

by lindzy   May 28, 2005


Alive by the day
Darkened by night
Dead by the darkness
Set free by the light

Set free by the light
Darkness brings depression
The night brings the razor
Which is my new obsession

Which is my new obsession
Disappears in the heat
But the darkness comes
And my depression I meet

And my depression I meet
With saddened cries
And I wish for the daylight
So they can't see my lies

So they can't see my lies
Of pretendful happiness
They wouldn't understand
I'm under this stress

I'm under this stress
With no answer in sight
Cuz I'm dead by the darkness
But set free by the light

    "Of pretendful happiness"
    "pretendful" is not a word, just stick to "pretend."

    The format was interesting, and since it was so captivating, the rhyming in your poem didn't really bother me, it seemed to blend in all right. I guess I do feel that the topic can seem a bit stereotypical at times, but this poem does a bit better job than most, especially by using more metaphors and symbolism than most.

    It was very interesting that you used the last line of each stanza for the next stanza's first line. That was very creative and it made the poem flow very well. Good job.

    This topic, however, is really worn out. I guess I've read too many cutting poems, because i'm getting really bored of reading them but that's not your fault. It's just that there are probably thousands of poems like this all over the sight so it's hard for me to focus on this one without thinking of all the other cutting poems I've read.

    I did like it though, and it's definately better than all the other cutting poems I've read.

    Keep writing,
    Dorotea
