Seven Days of Writing

I haven't written a blog post in months. I send my sincere apologies to all of the people who are bored enough to check and see if I've posted anything new. Sorry.

Although writing at the moment is seems to be just outside of my grasp, I can supply you with things written in the past. In a third hour science class. (The only reason I will miss Mr. Brackeen's science is that is where all of my best poetry was written.) So for seven days (because I could only find seven pieces worthy of sharing) I will show you what was accomplished during school. Each night in the following week...or two (I am a very busy person, you know)... I will post a new piece of writing. Everything from rhyming poetry all the way down to story-like pieces, some in the form of poetry.


This one is one of my favorites. It actually rhymes, and you guessed it, was written in Mr. Brackeen's physical science class. I don't have it named, so I would love suggestions. :) It is a bit dark, but of course has a spark of light in the end. The darkness was an experiment, to see how well I can generate and portray emotions in my writing. I hope some of it also relates to experiences people have had. Anyhow, please enjoy.

Breath of the darkness
Envelopes my heart
Escaping this emptiness
Could tear me apart

The demons, they claw
To gain sway of my life
I have this one flaw
That will bring me to strife

This knife-like pain
Cuts deep into me
It's Satan's gain
That no one can see

On the outside I smile
Like everything's fine
Yet, all the while
I'm crossing this line

To step into evil
The easiest path
My fast-fading will
Heralds much wrath

I long to turn back
Redeem myself
But hope I lack
Even love itself

Is it all right
To fumble in dark
Dark like night
Unwelcome by lark

Or is it far better
To tread in light
Where shackles and fetters
Wrists do not bite

I don't want to be captured
By things I should fear
But instead be enraptured
By Christ's suff'ring tears

Please excuse my lack of rhythm and meter in the poem. It's something I haven't yet mastered... or much been taught. :)
Six days to go!
