What lies in my bed
November 12, 2012
Laying in my bed,
there's something that isn't me
shaking violently.
Calling me over,
taking possession of me
forcing me to walk.
I have no control,
It wraps itself around me,
absorbs me within.
I do not exist,
I have be replaced by him,
the doppleganger.
My mom doesn't know,
nobody except me knows,
I will kill them all.

Dark and interesting.I see the point of the last line, but I don't think it flows well. Everything else is brilliant.

I understand now. And yeah that is creepy. Keep it up. You have spark a new interest in darker peotry. Im more of a happy lovey dovey writer.
What I meant in that last stanza was that the doppleganger had taken over the character at that point. So after he pointed out who was doing all that stuff to him, the doppleganger was the one talking in the last stanza. P.S. A doppleganger is an exact copy (like a twin) of a person, but in the paranormal sense. In germany, it is said that if you see your doppleganger, you will die that next day. Scary isn't it?

I was loving it until the last stanza. It threw me off and I didnt understand where that came from. But overall I really liked it.
