Alone In The Dark

by Jason Hedrick   Nov 8, 2011


Alone in the dark, my knees to my chest.
Hiding in the corner, maybe for the best.
Rocking back and forth, thoughts racing through my head.
Who knew this is the way, my life would be instead.
Mistakes that I made, are catching up to me.
Nobody has a clue, what it is that they see.
They look as if I'm human, which is what they see outside.
Nobody sees the empty soul, where all the demons hide.
They look in my eyes, and everyone turns away.
I am the one that all will fear, and no one wants to stay.
So this is why I sit alone, by myself in the dark.
Then no one has to fear, what used to be my heart.

    I think this is a very well written poem and I'll tell you why. Your rhymes fit well and they've not been used too often before, the flow might not always be that smooth, but it mostly is. I really enjoyed how you worded this because the feelings you convey are simply captivating. There isn't really anything I would fault, I'd only recommend you to remove those weird characters and exchange them with the apostroph you meant to put.
