The Evil That Once Controlled Me

A Poem

By Darren BlountPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

I stood on the ledge

In silence and fear

For the evil in disguise

Has driven me here

Controlling strings

Express the puppet in me

Pulling me towards

Endless pain you see

Draining magic from life

From everything around

Slowly pulling life to death

Dropping high spirits to ground

Believing to leave is best

Begin the walk into the light

Step by step, closer and closer

But one step back, to live another night
