I was a writer once. [Poetry(?)]

I s o l a t i o n

you in there
are you safe in there
wrapped in your blankets
locked in your room
the animals outside
don't even think of you
afraid of them
them oblivious of you
whimpering infant
swaddled babe
the shadows grow taller
when you become afraid
i thought i was safe
i thought i was safe
but what i fear is no wraith
no burglar breaking down my door
not a knife to the heart
to feel no more
i fear what's there
looking back in the mirror
there's something in the eyes
behind my stare it becomes clearer
a beast within
looking to catch
hungry to tear
i'm most afraid when i'm alone
because i'm not me when
i have no mirror
no one to draw
my personality from
when i'm alone
all alone in there
what i really am
i s o l a t i o n
makes
me
a
monster

I was a writer once. [Poetry(?)]

I was a writer once. Weren't we all? Not to say that I was a great writer, but simply that I was someone with observations and emotions and a will to put all that into writing. Sometimes it rhymed. Sometimes not. In the case of emotions, I would compare the writing of those poems to hastily casting off a garment that had caught fire. In order to avoid being burned, the work was rushed and haphazard to the end that I might spare myself some damage. Other times it was as if I was possessed, and something within me demanded that I write. Then there was that stint during which I fell down the backrooms rabbit hole and spawned a place known as "Mosey's Palace". I have a love/hate relationship with my muse. She leaves me cold most nights, but every time she reconnects with me, I can't help but be delighted.

In any case, I hope you don't feel like you wasted your time by visiting my thread. If you like my work, leave me some reactions. I wouldn't mind a private message to talk about the work either, but please refrain from posting in this thread. Thank you.

My dudes, it's not Wednesday.

But tomorrow is! Sup. Falkin's the name. Followed my guys here. I role play and write bad poetry sometimes.
