The Challenged
Horrors of nightmares
The monsters my mind created
To distract me from my own truth
Of death and melancholy surrounding.
Once a cheerful being
Depressed in emotion and life itself.
Balloons may surround me
Slowly losing air
Much like my sanity
As I plunge myself into a darker place
My mind has not let me forget
The rope that lay beside me
Instead of bringing fear and sadness
Bring me joy and happiness
Because no reality,
Should life ever be lost
No matter the monsters lurking in minds darkest corners
No matter the tears that have fallen before me
And no matter the memories I long forgotten
I smile
For remembering all the bad things
Before the good
Perhaps my mind forgets
Protecting from silly fears
Which now I embrace
Because loss
Is never forever
Retreating to self destruction
Being a phase to impress
Boils down to my instinct
Which I often imbrace
Through all however
I remember one thing
I must smile
A challenge I accepted
As I explore my darkest minds
I laugh in the face of all of them
In hopes and in time
That maybe I can live with them
And without them
I cannot smile
Alas my nature
Is far from ordinary
As I embrace my corrupted self
With such hesitant smile
I cannot rid myself
Of looming fate
I must hang
Or really balance
Or perhaps fall
My cage is my own
People don’t understand
My world is shifting
Let my darkness succumb
And let me smile
My darkest minds
Is all I should know
So I smile
So I smile
And my dark thoughts
Smile with me
........Ill admit you have a creative mind but I dont know if this is a poem or a haiku or whatever. Still, its creative.
832530 This isn't a Haiku, neither a Tanka. I'm guessing that this is a poem.
832613 It nothing besides free verse really. This is sort of what I've been doing for a while (five years). This isn't really my favorite, just a random one I wrote in five minutes.
