Summoning a Demon

Obviously this is not about summoning an actual demon.

Anger
I see it in their eyes.
My face pales in fright.
How did I incite this wrath?

Sorrow
I feel it in my heart
They hate me I know
Everyone I love, feels it

I raise
the devils within them
With a look, a touch
A tone, or sometimes nothing

It's me
To summon a demon
(I know, it's my curse)
From a wonderful person

This is a heart breaking poem. We all need love to survive an otherwise cold world. I find that people afraid to let other people close to them.. (so they can't get hurt.) push others sway instinctively. I would know... We naturally reject before rejected. Well penned. This is a thought provoking piece.

Ah, so sad. To push the ones you love away almost naturally.
It's something that's hard to endure. I experienced something similar.
You end up just blocking your heart to it all.
But the poem was well written.
It evoked feeling & expressed your emotions & views so well.
Nicely done.

You are becoming a good poet. You are able to express yourself clearly and poetically. But is depression the only feed for your talent? Cannot love impassion, not the dribble kind, nor the maudlin version, but that which takes the reader to heights they never dreamed. The kind that sees the rose growing on the side of the cliffs, the delicate veins in the flower petals.

Wow, this really produces some serious emotion.
