I Dare You... Poem by Autumn Hanna

I dare you to push me over the edge,
Dare you to make me lose my head.

Dare you to take a peak inside,
An insalubrious and malicious mind.

I sincerely want you to take that dare,
To poke and prod till my lucidity begins to tear.

I dare you to torment the beast within,
But I warn you, you’ll fine yourself in a very unpleasant place my friend.

Summon the demon, evoke the monster,
But know you’ll need all the strength you can muster.

I dare you to risk your life,
don’t stop, don’t think twice.

Once my mind is fully consumed by the dark,
There’s no telling how far I’ll take the next part.

But there is one thing I can guarantee before you sink down into despair,
You won’t live long enough to regret taking that dare.
