Chatterbox: Inkwell
you shall watch me crumble and come back up and slowly fall apart in the iron cage/chains that sucks all magic out of life...
oh you made me a broken shell as your fist collided with my chest
breath
k n o c k e d out
it fell into the air and disappeared
i grasped at the ghostmist but my nails dug in(instead)
and that set my blood flowing like warpaint
coating me in red fury before i pulled back
(Prologue end)
(Fire)
it burns the throat like
the-angry-words-flowing-out(i hope they burn your skin)
and consumes me in a b r e a t h l e s s
plead to the elements
(Water)
dousing out the flames and choking me
(i hope you choke from the tendrils my hand wraps around your throat)
it washes things into a mess and blends with my
t
e
a
r
s
(Air)
a clean slate is what i need but this blows and tears away
(tears and tears two different things but both are on your skin)
i have one more stage in the torture that grants me revenge
(Earth)
im not crying no im laughing as my throat is packed up
(soon you shall be buried with that same dirt)
all this for revenge such a foolish human thing but that is all i am a broken human little girl
all things end as they began and so this one will too
my red fury coats me
my nails grasp at nothing
i fall to the ground
oh
you shall watch me crumble and come back up and slowly fall apart in the iron cage/chains that sucks all magic out of life
and all life out of magic

I like the depth of this poem. What is the rythmn of it? I think it would make a really good song, but it's a nice poem, too!
(July 26, 2018 - 12:01 pm)
do poems
need rhythm?
i wonder
(if they do
then i must
not be
a poet)
oh well
(July 26, 2018 - 12:26 pm)

that shall remain
unknown

I really like this! I don't think it needs a rythm, I kind of like how it's broken up. I especially like the "i hope you choke from the tendrils my hand wraps around your throat" part.

hey,
why did you put Storyteller?
is there a story behind that?
(July 28, 2018 - 1:35 pm)
Story
The word echoed through my ears. Words can heal the deepest wounds. Words can revive what has forever been lost.
Words can destroy you. Words destroyed me. But I regret none of it. What use would it be to cry over what I cannot change.
The only thing I can change is my reawakening into this cruel world.
People have heard my pleas. People can help me.

also, cool poems.

A wound and a vengeance, pain to oneself that does pain to another. Or is it? It's difficult to tell. How curious a thing. The extent of my knowledge is not enough to allow me ease in replying. This expansion into the unknown is... heady.
Are you okay? Do you wish to continue to cause and feel pain? Are you in pain? Have you had success in taking revenge?
(July 28, 2018 - 8:46 pm)
So many questions...best to approach them one by one. It is easiest to get through obstacles that way, waiting until the end for everything to come together. Poetry might be the best strategy here.
Are you okay?
Is anyone
okay?
Do we not all feel pain and longing at some point?
But if this question refers to my current well-being
(As I suspect it does)
Then I suppose
I am
Okay.
Though I have gone through desperate measures in the past
A light
Is near
Perhaps.
Do you wish to continue to cause and feel pain?
I never wished
I only needed
You would not understand
What I did was foolish
But necessary
This is the trial

Dropping my mysteriousness for a second
Darn it, the spacing came out weird.
