*Warning* Some Dark Depressing Harsh Poetry *Warning*
If you continue reading, don’t blame me if your day becomes oh so dreary, for I have warned you.
Today shall be a dark poetry day since I have been staying away from it these past few days. Time to dig a bit deeper, and try some harsher stuff, still I revel in truth but this will be much darker than the stuff I normally do.
Abuse
Burning heat set amongst the stone
a fairy tale book that dulls to the bone
rhyming to shadows as shadows emerge
sickness devolving as darkness was purged
would you like to stay amongst the dead
an immortal guest, amongst those never put to rest
hauntingly familiar while a stranger to it all
Staying the night in a house where spirits are mauled
a house of horrors can be any house if abuse is present
few look it in the eye but none the less it’s certainly evident
that this thing is out of control
what happens next is out of even gods control
but never let it swallow you whole,
for you can prevail and escape your hell
just look to the sky with bloody fists raised high
never ask for forgiveness if it’s just and justified
when most panic and run… desperate to hide
this game of utter life and death, you chose for him to die
Now rest weary eyes and let none ever again deprive
you of your self, your capable of anything just look deeper inside
you might be surprised of what it is you find

Here is today’s Challenge for the Prompt which is completely optional but I absolutely loved Sahms idea for today: Micro poetry, in the form of the six word story. There is no real structure or rhyme scheme to the six word story. It is your choice whether or not to adhere to the form, but try to be as cryptic as possible.
And Here is my Six Word Stories Prompt for Today’s Poem A Day Challenge.
This sounds easy but as I have found out…it’s kind of hard.
