A demon I've become ( Original poem and art)

in poetry •  7 years ago 


A demon I've become



You took away my will to live

you took away my heart

replaced it with stones and blood on my hands

Before you here I stand

The sound of my soul so dark yet so pure

A demon I've become

whispers creeping up in my mind

The agony grows strong


You took away my passion and love

You took away my light.

Replaced it with pain and darkness inside

Before you here I stand.

The sound of my soul so dark yet so pure

A demon I've become

whispers creeping up in my mind

The agony grows strong


You took away my freedom and joy

you took away my sight

Replaced it with chains and sorrow inside

Before you here I stand.

The sound of my soul so dark yet so pure

A demon I've become

whispers creeping up in my mind

The agony grows strong


You took, I gave and I'm here to claim

To take back what you stole

Replace my fear with pride in my heart

Before you here I stand

The sound of my soul so deafening  raw

A demon I am in heart and soul

Whispers become screams I act upon

Your life belongs to me

Lovely poem, I love the smothering darkness it exudes. And the textured artwork is gorgeous too, I really like the colour palette.

I know the feeling of "becoming" the bad guy, because that's what everyone (Seemingly) unfairly expects of you. Despite how hurtful that feeling is, you can't help but play the role, almost uncontrollably. Fine, if this is what you want, then this is what you'll get

Thank you for this amazing reply!
You nailed what I was trying to say with my words!
Have a marvelous weekend!

Admiration for people who have patience to actually make art. Its not something you learn, its given

Nice poem. If you've experienced it, that was really rough.

"I'm a newbie and I make poetry and stuff in English and Tagalog. I would really appreciate it if you give me a time and visit and read my crafts. Thanks :)"

Such a wonderful writing , lovely dark and deep thoughts flowing together in a moody way

Great work! I twirble am a demon too, whuhahahah!

You are quite an artist! I love the poem and the amazing drawings. Your poem was raw and dark. I LOVED IT!

@poeticsnake. Angel and demon, mystical mixture of which we all have some dose. But what gives more strength to your beautiful poem is the affirmation: Before you here I stand.
Congrats.
Have a nice evening!
