Soft steps, silent screams, songful sorrows.
Sleeping soul's sibilant sighs sanctify senses.
Stealthy snakes stalking sobriety, stealing sanity.
Sinister shadows seizing sacred sacrifices.
Safety stolen, scalded skin, shattered shelter.
Stilted speech, savage shaking, salvaged satisfaction.
So Sorry.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

The meaning can be interpreted different ways .. very thought provoking. Good job Miss Sarah!
amazing diction <3
The alliteration's great, but it's the consonance that really makes this poem rock. Nice work there, Sarah!
