My Mistake Poem by Casualty of Chaos

My Mistake

Rating: 4.9


I walked among the crowded thorns.
I stood too close and bled.
I fought the devil with his own horns,
And I saw myself lay dead.

What was my name? Whom could I inquire?
I was so shamed; my soul.. so tired.

I ran into some darkened thoughts,
some hatred that was tucked away.
I did not survive the war I fought.
I could not fight another day.

Who had I become? Where had I gone?
I was lost somehow. What had I done?

I stopped and looked at where I stood,
no new direction left for me to take.
I would change it all, if only I could,
but that is why it is called my mistake.

I agree with whoever gave this a nine. The writer here is good, but the construction and presentation of this poem was excellant. A real jewel. GW62
