I Am Evil Poem by Johnnie Parker

Look at the world as it decays,
Look at the mess I have made.
Laugh as the world starts to fade
I planted my seed of hatred,
I infected the hearts and minds
I am the god you think of
When you’re cursing at the sky.
I am the darkness that consumes you
It is my eyes that pierce your soul
When you feel you’re being choked
It is my hands around your throat
It is my laughter that taunts you
It is I that follows you home
I live where light can’t reach
In the corners
Under the bed
In your closet
In your head
I am your nightmares
I’m the reason you can’t sleep
I’m every tear you cry
I’m the pain inside your eyes
I’m everything you despise
I’m the break in your heart
I’m responsible for every part
And when you feel you have nothing left
I take more
And leave you emptiness
I’m the life between each blink
I’m what infects every thought you think
I take your strength to fight
I render you of your rights
I am dirt and I am mold
I am hot and I am cold
I’ve taken your wings to fly
I’ve taken your will to try
I am shame
I am guilt
I am the foundation on which you were built
When you crumble
When you fall
I am who takes your all
You give in
You give up
And I’ll leave you to self destruct
I am anger
I am hate
I am your mental mind state
So pray to your god if you think it’ll help
But when darkness falls
It’ll tie and bound you
Cause I am evil
And I surround you.
