I'm my own demise

Veronica Achlys 2009

Free verse
I'm my own demise,
The one who pours poison in her own cup,
The reaper of the soul in my flesh,
The empress of the demons in my head,
The prosecutor of the spirit's stargaze,
The summoner of the monster,
The hunter of my sanity,
The captor of myself,
Stuck in the creations of my own maze.

    Wow, this poem is truly powerful and evocative! The imagery of being your own demise is haunting and thought-provoking. Your use of metaphor and vivid language really draws the reader in and creates a sense of desperation and introspection.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to explore a glimmer of hope or redemption within the darkness of the poem. Adding a moment of realization or a hint of resilience could provide a contrast to the overwhelming sense of self-destruction. This could create a more nuanced and dynamic emotional journey for the reader.

    Overall, your poem is incredibly moving and showcases your talent for capturing complex emotions. Keep up the great work and continue to explore different aspects of your experiences and thoughts in your writing.
