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
