Worries That Devour Me

by tender69   Nov 2, 2005


My best in a long time.-Britt

In my darkest deep secrets you haunt me
You live solely to taunt me
You find joy in whispering demise of mine
To see me in a dismayed state of mind.

You have hidden your soul within my nature
And I yearn to be bequeathed your knowledge,
Your inner surreptitious self-explaination.

Have you the earth and 'round
Of harsh music and beautiful sound;

You discern with a wedged tongue
And eyes that block out sweet Sun
In which emotions are concealed
Held inside never to be revealed.

The evil that you are
All others obscured inside
But you knowing no lies
At ease you are not one to hide.

And in your mischievous tone you murmur:
"Are you ready to begin to die?"

    One of the best poems I have read on this site -- I would advise you to place it as an entry on the artistic poetry contest discussion board -- I urge you to get involved -- and maybe think about not using conjunctions

    Here's a quick explanation, or atleast what I wanted it to say:
    worries follow me around and live inside me,there only purpose is to scare me.I want to learn the basis of my worrying and the truth behind them. something inside me knows everything,but I cannot access it.worry is like the evil side of a person but it chooses to show itself b/c it is at peace with being a horrible thing.then I worry about death and know that one day I will die, no matter what.thats pretty much it, but you could have gotten something totally different from it.hope this helps=)
