Sickness | Teen Ink

Sickness MAG

By Anonymous

You wreak black
like nightfall.
You words are
dark and sharp.
You spear hearts
to see them bleed.
You run wild
with the sun
which so willingly
burns you.
Your harsh words
have never echoed
so clear and sound
with the wind.
Your words dug
gashes in the moon
and light the sky.
Dark looms and
has never hesitated.
We wonder why

Do what you love in the most adventurous way and make sure it helps people.

much agreed... do you know how much emotion is in this? Can you feel the power in every word? ig not. Maybe if you would read the poem then you would have an appreciation for it.

Agreed.  Please respect the writer and write about her poem, not on your life revolving around it.

&quot;A friend in need is a friend indeed, a friend with weed is better.&quot;<br /> &quot;Then he put on forty-two and a half tabs of brown acid that he still had from his Woodstock days.

Very nice! I loved it completely. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Bravo!
