This is a darker poem I wrote. I struggled with self esteem a while back and I wrote this. I recently found it, edited it, and made it slightly better. Tell me what you think about it. Be honest and let me know, I can handle it. :)

~~~~~~

It hides within me

Representing my insanity

Prowling deep in the dark abyss

It is the fuel for my sorrow

The fire that drives my anger

Flowing through my ragged veins

It makes my blood boil

I unwittingly fall prey

To the ugly flesh that whispers lies

As it tries to consume my soul

Madness cracks a smile

And hides in the mirror

Everything I dislike about me

Is founded from the cursed flesh

It lies and shrieks and whispers

It will be my tragic downfall

Unless I can still the rage

And control the demon

I must face the darkness in me

Shed the nothingness in my mind

And then will I truly be free
