Darkness \ KT \ poem
Darkness, darkness
Its out to get me
Please save me
Please hold me
Can't stay sane
Please go away!
Don't do it
Can't fight back
Someone, anyone
Please help me
Lingering temptations
High expectations
Its trying to hurt me
Please stop me!
Someone, anyone
Rid this darkness!
(btw this is like my second ever poem so its not that good :P)

Your poem is fine, so do not fret on that score. Your repeated use of three syllable lines comprised of monosyllabic stressed syllables really adds to the feeling of tension and desperation. The imperative statements engenders the sensation of someone wildly casting around for aid yet finding no solace nor rescue. The emotion comes across as unfiltered and intense. Poems like this often come from a place of extreme distress, so it is good to see you being able to express yourself. I hope it brings you catharsis. Keep writing, people are listening.

A Raw piece, Kat! The nature of the imagery in itself makes the reader want to help. The narrator- with that tone and imperative stressing, makes it vivid that the need of help is urgent and long since needed but not being able to receive it till the end adds that subtle hint of sadness and distress! Kudos and I sincerely wish you well. <3
