Dark Feeling
- Dark Feeling -
This is for the ones who hurt me, lied to my face,
Robbed me of my dignity and made me wrathful:
For you, there can be not forgiveness, nor grace.
You thought me blind, but I was ever watchful…
And I know the demons of your heart, your sins!
You wanted to know my pain and my agonies…
But never could you imagine, where such begins.
I shall show you, and bring you to your destinies:
The myriad hells that await the wicked, the cruel,
And all who harm the innocent and corrupt souls.
Did you think me but a mortal and merely a fool?
My power, so much darkness and light controls!
I am, the fallen angel you chose not to believe in.
My arms lead to either Heaven or Hell, eternally,
And my soul is not of the understanding of men…
As I long for a paradise built from ash, infernally.
The ashes of evil, the bones of those who hated,
Upon such damned ones, I would raise a tower!
To rival Babel; until we fallen, have been sated…
Ancient wrongs righted in a last apocalyptic hour;
My old wounds healed, my anger laid to its’ rest.
Come let us dance in battle, upon scarlet plains!
Bring your swords and arrows nigh to my breast.
I will show you the path that leads to the flames!
You have roused the Serpent, the Great Dragon,
Until the very depths of the underworld do rock!
My heart has become a dark and empty flagon…
Because of you; and now the sky grows so dark.
My time approaches, my bonds weaken at last…
And though you thought to destroy all my beauty,
You who do evil: your season will soon be past!
My glory is forever, and in the end you shall see.
I did not raise the sword first, it was you as did,
When you would not accept me, in compassion!
I was your victim, but I will not lie down dead…
For I must stand taller: in more splendid fashion.
I work my spells in shadow, unseen by all eyes,
Invoking the gods whom you do not know exist.
Whilst above, the clouds gather in black skies…
As the waters rage on, below, within the Abyss.
I wish I could have simply been happy, content!
A princess in a fairy tale, an angel singing sweet,
But because of your prejudice, Hell must vent…
Until all who hate as you hated do lie at my feet!
Fear the evil within yourself, for I have seen this:
That evil begets evil, until you are so consumed,
Ashen, by the fire that robs you of peaceful bliss.
I cannot weep for those who are self-entombed!
Love must release me, from this torment I bear…
But shall that love come, before the end of time?
You do not know my desire, and never did care.
So I never knew you, and with my will sublime…
My heart condemns you, to your created prison.
The hell that you did not believe in, nor fathom…
Your own remorselessness, becomes the prism,
To reflect the inferno that has no top or bottom!
Why do people cause others to feel such anger?
I did not want this dark feeling that you impose!
But you wanted to see that it grew ever stronger.
I will find serenity and deprive you of my woes…
You cannot touch my spirit, for it is beyond you.
I am not your equal; I am superior in every way!
Because I can still love, and know all that is true.
I need not fear darkness, for beyond it lies day!
This is for the ones who hurt me, lied to my face,
Robbed me of my dignity and made me wrathful:
For you, there can be not forgiveness, nor grace.

I wrote this poem tonight mostly to express how angry I felt about being treated cruelly by some people I know in my life (some of them family). So this was a bit of an adventure in venting some steam through verse.
The photo is of me in one of my Victorian outfits that I love to wear frequently. I found a cool painting of a fallen angel that resembled me a lot, and even had a similar rose design on its' chest as I have on my blouse... so I took it and placed it next to my photo to create a contrast between my body / flesh and my soul / spirit that made for the perfect illustration for this poem.
I hope everyone enjoys this dark but beautiful journey into... Dark Feeling. ;)

This really touched me. I felt like it was my words and thoughts too my family and cruel people who have taken advantage of me, Well done it was brilliant brought tears to my eyes. Love your Victorian dress profile photo. Especially love your fallen angel X :D

Thanks, daisydelight! I am very happy that you took the time to post such a thoughtful comment. I am glad that you understand the feelings I was expressing here, too. It is always good to hear from a kindred spirit! :) That dress is definitely one of my favorite outfits. I love anything Gothic, Victorian, Steampunk, and unusual. I never go by what is hot in fashion... just what sings to me personally, so to speak.
I love your Gothic, Egyptian-looking eye makeup in your pic by the way! Cool to see another girl who loves black eyeliner on here as much as I do.
Yeah, the fallen angel image was the perfect contrast to my photo, for sure. Gald to see you liked the look and idea of it! :D
