Sister Joy
Though times are hard. They mean so much, our actions short and our voices ring. The old beginnings are coming to an end. Now is the time to start a new beginning....
I live in the sorrow
I dream of a world of darkness and despair
No one knows how I truly feel.
They all ask and question me why I bring terror and hate down onto them
But I don't have the answer.
No one does.
For all I truly know is how to bring sadness and suffering to those who deserve it
I cannot undo what I have done
For my undoing is forever my curse
There is no cure...and I will forever be known as a beast
Sign, Brother Pain

I really like this... one suggestion- could you do a new line in the first block between 'our voices ring' and 'the old beginnings' It may just be teenink's new format, but it was a big block of text compared to the rest of your short lines and seemed out of place. Besides, it seems like there should be a line break there.
I really liked the idea of Sister Joy and Brother Pain (though it should technically say "signed" instead of "sign, Brother Pain" Maybe you could take this theme a step farther and begin the poem with "Dear Sister Joy,"
great work, and I like your choice of picture!
