Anger

The best way to describe this is, it's one big metaphor about defeating negative emotions.

From the bottom of a pit, the demon rises in smoldering fury,

Flames erupt, engulfing the bravest men and their steeds.

A wicked terror to witness, he consumes the Earth in darkness.

Men fall to the beast, slaves to the creature. None stand.

Unimaginable agony rips through every soul that looks upon him.

They do his bidding, willing or unwilling, they must bend a knee

To the new king. The new meaning of fear, of anguish.

A brim light peers through the darkness, rays piercing the clouds of smoke.

White light bursts onto the land, a knight of God. 

Sinners eyes burn, blood trickling down their faces, they are not prepared.

Meeting the demon, a force to be reckoned with, expanding their wings.

Darkness and light meeting, an unholy eclipse. 

Wielding the sword of Michael, the holy warrior glinted steel,

The lord of agony does not flinch, he takes pleasure in pain.

Striking out at the angel, breathing fire down onto the being.

Smoke bellowing from the massive firestorm, the white knight emerges

Kneeling on the ground with his wings spread, raising his hand

Holy fire striking down the demon, like ball lightning.

Letting out a thunderous roar, the humans clasp their eyes,

The shadow collapses, white fire eradicating the evil.

In a trail of light, he takes to the sky, giving man three words

"You are free."

Its very good, but I feel that with the use of more emotive words, and perhaps better adjectives at the start it would have drawn me in more. The narrator needs feeling, describe feeling! Really good end though, better description. Thanks for sharing this, its pretty good.

I really enjoyed the powerful story you were able to tell in this, along with the wonderful imagery and metaphor! You're a great storyteller :)

This is amazing! I love writing in a metaphorical way and you hit the nail on the head. "you are free" what a beautiful line or ending to the poem. Truly you are talented.

Thank you, I haven't really shown people my writings until now.

[Hailey Shay]

Honestly, me neither, but I finally decided that it was time for the world to know my passion on a small scale. You did a beautiful job you should be proud

I can't write just to write, I can only write when I truly feel like it. I'd hate to sound shallow or generic through my words, I'm just me when I write. It's relieving.
