You better close your eyes,
Don't believe what they say,
They'll fill your head with lies.
Run away, to a safe place,
Listen to me, never stop,
Don't let them win, don't let them taste,
What you hold within your heart,
Is what they are jealous of,
Don't let the monsters tear apart,
What you believe,
You must hold dear,
It's what you see,
It's what they need to live,
They'll rip apart your dreams,
What you need they'll deprive,
But head me, do not worry.
You will never be bereft,
Little one, you must trust me,
Stand beneath the starry sky,
Do not believe what you see,
Close your eyes, let out a sigh,
It will save the dreams you hold dear,
Your imagination is strong,
You must make believe what they fear,
Watch them run,
Watch them part,
What you've doneā¦
The sun has risen,
The truth is in light,
Dreams forsaken,
How could you? You let them win,
Your innocence is now theirs,
What you've done, the greatest sin,
Watch your dreams be ripped apart,
As you are chained to the ground,
Face the truth; you've lost your heart,
Cold chains of reality bind,
You have become the monster you feared,
Responsibility blinds,
Your heart, now stone,
Realism wins,
I'll never condone,
Look what you have done, you have killed me,
Watch me fade into the dark you've feared,
I'll open your eyes; I'll make you see,
The land you've made for your dreams,
Now empty as the cruel dessert,
Watching you rip the seams,
Skeletons litter the once lush ground,
Of faeries and dragons, all you believed,
Lay dead as the tears cease, and nothing sounds,
Is this it? Is what you choose?
The world of big buildings and work?
Not the land you tried so hard to prove?
Fine, do this, forsaken us!
I see the truth, what you are,
I see it's the real world you lust,
We believed in one who didn't feel the same,
We dried your tears, we made you laugh,
We protected you until they came,
You will strive for this land once again,
You will steal it from the little ones,
You will do this again, pain you will send,
I can see it happening,
From the cage in your heart,
As you do it once again.

who are you to claim that "dark poetry" is not original. No poetry is original as for the amount of time it has been around all types have been tried and done. "dark poetry" as you call it is usually written when the author is going through something difficult and this is a way to help get through that. So next time THINK before you comment drkangel1114-
On a lighter note I found this to be very expressive and well written. Keep up the writing Vache, it is a good way to work though things. - Report As Spam

- Do tell me, what is with people and dark poetry. The truth is that dark poetry is not original at all. So move on and try something else. =D
