I AM

A dark poem I wrote freestyle. My attempt at capturing my inner Emo :P

I AM

 

In the dark dangerous nights I am around

When I approach like a devil,

You won’t know I’m there

Nobody will escape my wrath

Nobody will be spared

 

I come to you in strange nightmares,

When you wake to your heart beating

The feeling you are alive

Then I blow my cold icy breath

And there is no feeling left

 

Whenever guns are heard,

People know me well

They say “we are strong and alive”

The next minute it's all a lie

 

You will see me in places of penury,

Then leave without a second glance

Try to run from me?

You really have no chance

 

I am dark like a shadow

The worst you could ever know

I don’t have a face

My mind is black and cruel

Filled with anguish and disgrace

 

With my arms I sweep up the ill

My feet crush the bones of old

All of them,

So pale as they realize their end

 

Fate will bring you to me

 

Author's Note

What do you think? I know it's on a dark topic and some people might dislike it, but it's for those of you who like this type of thing. Oh, and I know it doesn't really rhyme, but that's because it is a freestyle poem. They don't have to rhyme! Hope you liked it. I also hope it creeped some of you out and disturbed you!

Well it didn't creep my out because I've read way to many descriptions of death and i sorta guessed what you were talking about in the beginning. But the imagery is truly great. And the message shows that you will never escape death. Great write!
