Saying goodbye
June 9, 2014
I can feel the darkness spread throughout my body.
Swallowing me whole then comforting me like its my buddy.
A foggy mist clouds my mind.
making me forget anything happy or kind. I can feel relief as it pierces my skin. but this relief also damages me limb by limb. I decide this isn't where I want to be. I want be free from everyone and everything! I tore at the darkness that was determined to bring me down. But there were so many layers... layers... and layers of nothing but black nothingness left of me. I screamed NO! this isn't what I wanted. I didn't want to be a wallflower forgotten. but that's who I am so I let the darkness swallow me whole as I said goodbye to my happy happy soul.

Lovely poem, i totally agree with Emma; it's just one big piece ( in your face if you know what i mean). Would've been more pleasant to the eye if it had been partitioned into,say, two stanzas... that being said, I feel it's still a very lovely poem.

I really like the concept behind this poem a lot. This description is also really good. I would format it like a poem though with stanzas and lines, because paragraph format I found a bit confusing. And also, I wouldn't repeat the word "happy" on the last line. Other than that it was really great with wonderful imagery.
