Fear

Longest damned night I've had in the past year. I want this bullshit to end. Welcome to a glimpse of my nightmarescape.

Flashes smash in my head

Like a f*****g flipbook.

A knife glints in the moonlight

While the sunglazed noose tightens.

Smooth bullets to the brain

Seem suddenly appealing

With a side order of razor blades

Washed down with fresh cyanide.

Oh hello blood, it's been a long while.

Does the kiss of the air feel calming?

Still the faces... Damn, the visage

Of every person I've ever known!

Drowning in the boiling water

My screams fill the tomb's stale air.

And what should now transpire

Except the shredding of my own heart,

Held before my eyes as it beats faster,

Thumping, thumping. Stopping in the red haze.

These poisons have me in a daze

While the shot rings out at 3:32.

A firing squad for two, you say?

Arrangeable for sure good sir.

Forget good-byes, they take too long.

The lack will make the children rush

To join us in this stench of death.

God f**k our immortal souls

And I bid thee now adieu!

I didn't get any sense of emo-ness from this. Maybe it's about suicide, but it has a subtle dementedness and word usage that makes it appealing. If you're down, I'm not going to ask you to cheer up. It's been proven that writers are more creative when in a depressed or agitated state.

Wow! Scary write really, but very well written
Enjoyable read.

Well, this was quite an interesting write.
I kind felt like I was being twirled through some angry type of twilight zone.
I hope this isn't how you're feeling.
Hopefully things get better.

Oh wow, that was amazing...you've got quite some talent! The emotion in it feels like you're shouting a whole lot of the F U's, lol! Fear is what you make out of it and in this case, it's one hell of a poem!

Best wishes,

John?... John?... Wake up, man you're having a real bad dream!

John,
God I hope you're not feeling this for yourself.
You're too dear to me.

well if you wanted to scare the crap out of me, it worked. other than not being able to breathe i actually like it. i mean other than the fact that you're clearly upset.
