Exposed Poem by Emily Slm

When the sun goes down
And night conquers day
I am left
Exposed
To the horrors I create

The darkness closes in
And I hold no shield
To protect my tortured soul
From the horrors i create

The reasons and the thoughts
Bounce and twist and warp
Until they become
The horrors I create

They taunt, torture, and dangle me
Scarring me for life
I am choked
By the horrors I create

The moon looms over
Watching silently
The moon does nothing
To protect me
I am left exposed
To the horrors I create
