Pyro Eyes
Sadness embraces me
I hold him tight
he has blackened the sun
it's perpetual night
gathering all the stars
and placing them in a jar
lighting my dungeon
where I can see my demons
lurking in the shadows
licking at my sanity
pacing, smoking
a cigarette butt graveyard
litters the ground
tracing my steps in the ashes
tears fail to caress my face
hardened soul
refuses to let go
of the pain
that paints my days grey
shadows have voices
they echo off the walls
pyro eyes ignite rage
this will be my key
to murder this depression
cut off it's head
watch all the poison
bleed out
smear the blood
on my naked form
a battle cry
lets loose from my mouth
the demons cower
shadow voices subside

Sometimes, down in the dumps is a place to listen for your Heart to tell You how to find that place of Tranquility You once new.

First off, shame you deleted the last one it was a great poem.
I see, you're starting to experiment with some nice subtle rhyme, it works well for you, fair play.
this is, as per, raw life put into easy readable stanzas. I have no suggestions for you here, I think you've done a bang up job

shadow voices replay my pain
keeping wounds bleeding and fresh
knifing me with its sharp memories
must fight to survive, no time for crying
must behead the serpent that strangles me
but I like my own head on my shoulders
So what do I do with the mind that is fucking with me.
Rage is honest, TRUTH in bold letters. Pain never lies. I am always amazed by the comfort of those things.

When you write dark.....I swear the devils sigh rocks hell. You are powerful!!!!! You write from a side that you feel is weak, but you are not! Writing with such power shows you have risen much further beyond the pain than you realize. Keep inking strong. Xo :)

That terrible mood of depression of whether it's any good or not is what is known as The Artist's Reward.
Ernest Hemingway
good ink crim ....awesome remedy for the mutual feeling.
