Dead Heir
November 24, 2011
Am I better or worse
Than who I used to be?
A girl who cried nightly turned
Into a lust guided Queen.
What has brought this
Upon me? Can I return at all?
This image that I stand by,
This girl in a facade.
She needs to go.
Far from returning.
She may be me, but this me is
Not worth knowing.
What I know best is the strife
That lingers inside.
If that is what I know, so be it!
This Queen just died.

Wow...this is a really deep poem. It really makes the reader envision the part of them that "isn't worth knowing". It just draws you in as you read it!

Writing is my heart-kill it like a wild beast and I will be killed with it. Rip it from me and it will die with me. But tell me what weakens it and I will make it prosper.
