    Hate life, Hate you...Hate myself

    Hate life, Hate myself
    by stock


    The shadows of extinction pass over us all,
    and the light may bypass some.
    And though I long,
    and though I cry,
    I know one day I will dissent into the fire.
    The light that brings hope,
    that sun that brings happiness,
    all I can do is pray that my time comes.

    Two pale moths
    rise up from my eye sockets
    on flickering wings


    My lifelong path is so unclear,
    morals dead, I am unable to fight.
    My golden flame is extinguished,
    the flame which guides me true,
    I wish I could distinguish,
    sadness and Happiness, around fear,
    my emptiness is here,
    Darkness sucks my spirit dear.

    I can hear
    the rain outside,
    I can feel a spider's touch


    Shrouded in a veil of shadows.
    No sun shall shine -
    For light is divine,
    here evil and darkness reign.
    Dead trees overhang my black lake of death,
    for the birds of doom to rest upon.
    I wish the sun would go away.
    I want the rain to pour like blood for seven days.

    I can feel you
    inside me
    Running through my veins


    I put up so many walls you see,
    I tried to lock myself away,
    I am so scared of trusting,
    lock me in my head, I can keep the key,
    you see it’s a prison, a prison being me.
    Hate life, Hate you...Hate myself…
    I wish me dead, like I do everyone else

    And now,
    now I'll cut you out

    I want to apologize for sleeping on this. I have been in here like 3 times but I'm here now and thats all that matters. I thought that the opening stanza was really nice! It had some detail and it was very smooth. Then I read the second stanza and I think that you killed yourself on the flow. I think that the rhyme scheme you had in there just made the value go down big time. What i liked most were the little 3 line killers in between the stanza. I thought those were really nice and had a certain quality to them.

    This piece was really, really...."Somber"...it kinda had this really pensive mood to it. As far as the technical stuff like structure and flow I liked it alot...

    These were really strong lines IMO....they were filled with imagery and had a rhythm that stuck in my head after reading.

    The prison metaphor was just dope...made me think of a person feeling that they're body is their personal prison...and they're serving a Life sentence so to speak.

    Nice piece Stock....this seemed more well-thought out then some of your other stuff I've read....really felt your writing style on this one.....
