Description Kill me so slowly…
Slice me so precisely…
God, you are unholy…

These voices!
They won't reply
Simply deny me my sanity
What profanity!
Why is this fucking happening to me?
Oh, Lord
I can't see!
I can't breathe!
I can't understand!
Why I continue to shout your name
When it's you who is to blame!

Drag me so mercilessly…
Fight back defiantly…
I submit unwillingly…

So why must this be?
On the run constantly!
Boarding up the frame work of my head
And shoving knives into my ears
The tears,
Oh the fucking tears!
They wet the floor no more!
Replaced with my boiling blood!
This dam has finally burst
A flood is surging
Emerging is my truth
The determination is impossible
This revelation
Is chasing me with zero hesitation
Catching up to me!
Gaining ground
The sounds!
So sinister!
A mere whisper at first
Then a shrill scream!
They scream!
Oh, how they scream!
Scream!
Screaming to break free!
If turned loose
Hell would be bestowed upon my soul

So these shadows dance in my mind
The last cage
Holding them down
And I suffer from the shadow's relentless struggle
Then, without warning
They'll vanish

So they sleep soundly
Watching from the backs of my eyes
In the shadows of my most inner ideas
Searching for an escape
Seeking my sinister desires

Thank you for participating in our prompt at #Live-Love-Write !

This was a very nice usage of the prompt! As far as poetry with language goes, you did a fairly good job of handling it here. It definitely adds to the informal feeling of the piece, which works well here.

One thing that was a bit distracting was the amount of exclamation points you use. It's good to use them to draw attention to the most important lines, but you want to be sure to only use them occasionally.

Nevertheless, good work!

This is outstanding. I can't believe you got this one 'love it' and nothing else. Seriously. You deserve much more. This is a masterpiece. I even read it although it is fairly long compared to the poems I usually read. You did an incredible job and I hope you get more comments, better comments. Seriously, this is fantastic.

ah, i dont ever realy plan on writting, i just sit down and spill it....a natural kinda thing, not bragging xD

WhatAmItoYou In reply to Birdtalon [2011-10-23 00:54:26 +0000 UTC]

Oh no its fine! I'm not bragging either when I say that I do commissions and such for people. (Before people would just ask for something and I'd write it but now I get points lol) I'm an unpublished novelist though

Birdtalon In reply to WhatAmItoYou [2011-10-23 01:40:10 +0000 UTC]

no one ever asks for commisions T~T

WhatAmItoYou In reply to Birdtalon [2011-10-23 01:44:22 +0000 UTC]

Oh really? I would but all my points go towards giving them away for my groups. I don't keep a single point for myself. That's probably why I get commissions. I'm not a great writer, I'm just decent. You deserve commissions.

Birdtalon In reply to WhatAmItoYou [2011-10-23 01:45:45 +0000 UTC]

xD Lol why thank you. im not so selfless i like to keep the points for other comissions...spreading the points around^-^

WhatAmItoYou In reply to Birdtalon [2011-10-23 01:48:53 +0000 UTC]

Oh nice! I hope you consider me at some point then! I'm rather cheap... 1 point gets you a 100-500 word story. Contests are amazing ways to get points though!

WhatAmItoYou In reply to Birdtalon [2011-10-23 01:53:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah... I'm a cheap (insert derogatory female word here). But I like what I do, especially making people happy with my writing! So far no one has been upset with my work, everyone has loved what they've gotten, which is great because I didn't even know their tastes! Oh shoot... there's one I need to get done as soon as possible since I'm asking this girl for a favor once I'm done with her commission.

Birdtalon In reply to WhatAmItoYou [2011-10-23 01:56:13 +0000 UTC]
