you don't think

I know

that you know

look deeper

and you will find

the source

the reason

for my depravity

my bitter mask

drowning softly

in the black, its

grown into a monster

that I fight daily

at the drop of a hat

the reflection of a thought

its been with me

since the age of five

the first time I died

Powerful words and thoughts my friend.
"the reason
for my depravity
my bitter mask"
We do wear fake face and learn bitterness. I enjoyed this poem. Honest tone and direct. My favorite kind of poetry. I will return later and read some more. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

The deaths we die and the days after, that is the stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting poem rising different images and ways of interpretation. To me it reads like a poetical introductory to a thriller, there are elements in it which create tension. Moreover your choice of words is rather simple but well done.

"You don't think I know that you know ... " Those opening lines are so enigmatic that they just draw the reader in. Then, the finale, "it's been with me since the age of five, the first time I died." Wow! The darkness is like a tide that ebbed in the beginning and flowed down to the very end ... the darkest of tears. Unfortunately, I think too many of us know; and we know that you know that we know.

God... that last line... Not only do I know... I relate. xo Love

Great line here,"drowning softly in the black, its grown into a monster."
You allow your readers to feel the struggle you battle.
It's dark and eerie.
Great job.
