The Wind's Black Whispers

by Forever Hers   Oct 22, 2013


The wind whispers to me, it
Echoes as I play with my demons,
Encouraging me to leave
Everyone behind,
For without me, they'd be better off.

Might its words be true?
Maybe I am rather problematic,
A burden disguised as something
Comforting, however evanescent.

How can I love life, things, when I despise myself?
I cannot love anything completely
While I shatter mirrors that show
The flames of hell burning in my eyes,
My pale appearance as I knock on death's door.

I'm not who I want to be,
So many things are bubbling over,
My pain, my anger, my sadness;
Too much to handle,
Too much to have any sane person stay.

The wind whispers to close myself off
And close any open doors,
But a piece of my mind fights back,
Trying to stop the walls from growing higher.

Might it prevail, or might I wander the halls
Of my still stitched heart
Alone by my own hand?

Apologies lie in my frigid eyes,
I need you more now than
Ever before, my love.

    This is a very lovely write Brittany. I love how you personalise the demons and make them seem real. It brings out the darkness in the poem. I also like how you seem to say that you are falling into a demon or that you are the demon as a whole. It is hard to live your full life if you can't love yourself and it's the hardest thing in the world to be yourself without feeling judged by others. I get what you are saying when you say you are not who you want to be. I think no one truly is at all. But I also think you can't truly understand what anothet person is going through at all. No one can live another person's life at all. No one can be another person. I like the twisted ending too. Even though you feel this way you still love a person. The heart is very strong and can shine through any darknesz. Great write
