Poetry / Demons

Hatred runs rapid through my blood

Even through my bones

When the evil hits

It takes control quickly and hard

Time has its way of releasing the demons

Inside of me

The demons show their face

At the most unpredictable time

When the need arises

Then actions will be shown

How inviting when the demons are released

How you seem to lose control when the demons

Come knocking!

What a feeling of what’s right and what’s wrong

You lose a part of yourself when

You lose control

You lose sanity

You lose your submission

You have no pain

No guilt

No urge but to

KILL THE HATRED

Kill the reason why the demons were

released

This is extremely powerful and I must saying writing this instead of exploding was a wise choice. This is most definitely a good piece of writing.

I think it’s a good way of expressing yourself.  I’m sure a lot of people have felt that way.  It’s true writing helps when you feel you can’t talk to anyone about your problems or maybe you don’t have any nice things to say.  The ending is good “Kill the reason why the demons were released”.

line 1, should be rapidly
line 2, reword and connect w/ line 1
something like:
through my blood and my bones
line 3, give the evil more action
line 4, identify “it”, using “hard” is awkward
taking hard control of something is nonsensical
try something like:
Hatred runs rapidly through my blood
and my bones
The evil strikes my soul, taking quick control
of my thoughts and actions
line 5, verbose
line 6, “of me” is unecessary
line 7, use more vivid verb than “show”
line 8, verbose, maybe try somethine like
“surprising” instead of “the most unpredicatable”
line 10, awkward, repetition of show unneeded
line 11-12, words like “how” denote a question
instead of sayng how blah blah, tell us how blah blah
line 13, just suddenly using punctuation
doesnt make it more dramatic,
use it throughout, it provides clarity
line 14, “what” is another of those question words
line 15, cliched
line 18, ruins the parallelism, also it’s awkward
why would you lose submission,
are you submittin your will to the demons

overall, it needs more clarity,
punctuation, eloquence and imagery

Very angry and dark.  Could use more puncuation because I think I read it a bit awkwardly at first.

It is much better than hitting someone indeed!  It is a great emotional piece

line 4 … ‘it takes control quick and hard”....instead this is more in keeping with the rythym of the poem..

This piece is actually done well, but there are a few things that I don’t dig.

Every sentence starting with a capital letter throws me off.  It could be a nice way to set pace, per se, but I think that works against your inner demons theme. Also the general lack of puncuation I’m not a fan of here, but that’s merely style.

Also, I’m not sure how much I dig the switch you pull from the first half to the second.  The second half of this increases the speed, which is intentional from what I’m reading, but the lines are redudant.  I would tighten this up some.

“You lose control
lose sanity, submission
You have no pain, no guilt…
nothing but the urge
TO KILL THE HATRED!”

Something like that.  I think by dropping or combining a few lines, you could keep that increased pacing you have without sacrificing meaning.
