I started writing poetry this month. Feedback? (I’m 16)
“Vampire”
Lurking in the shadows
I prey on mankind
An unquenchable thirst
consuming my mind
I am losing my soul
with every sip that I take
Each drop of blood
marks another mistake
I’ve transcended death
Was it worth the cost?
I can never regain
the life I have lost
“Butterfly”
My attempts, failed
Is this my punishment?
Never to fly again
Pinned to the wall
You watch me flutter
As I tear myself apart
Losing this battle
I long for release
I’d tell you the truth
I’d tell you anything
If you would believe me
Despite these black wings
“Witch Hunt”
Find the lady
Dressed in black
Tie her to the stake
And never look back
As the flames consume
Her body and soul
If you need a martyr
She’ll play the role
The crowd’s piercing scream
“Burn witch, burn!
From ashes you were born
Unto ashes you return!”
She closes her eyes
And takes a deep breath
The calm of an innocent
Awaiting her death
