Hi steemians! c: Hidden- an original poem

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)


Hi there! nice to meet you!


Just your local faerie poppin in!

I'm super excited to be here! I love creating~
I thought it would be a perfect representation of me to start off with a poem I wrote! I'm going to fill this place with everything and anything from my mind! stories, thoughts, adventures, dreams, poetry, and whatever else that happens to come out of my wild thoughts.

anyways,
I typically like writing poems about things that make me happy like nature and such, but I decided to step out of my comfort zone with this one and write about the hidden parts of my mind. I used to fear of speaking about the darker things scared it would taint the image I have of myself as someone who tries to make an effort to seek and spread positivity, but then I realized dark times are what make us human, those experiences are there to help us grow. they are nothing to be ashamed of. no need to lock them away.

hope you enjoyed the video! you'll be seeing lots more of me around here!!
Lets be friends?

song in video: XXXTENTACION - I spoke to the devil in Miami (Instrumental)

hidden:
I want to reach into my mind and spill fairytales with my tongue
I want my words to taste like bubblegum, cotton candy, and fresh ripe plums
I want to write of magical things
Waterfalls and rainy springs
The world is filled with so much love. I want my poems to portray thereof

However,
There is a notion that all great artists
Must Reflect upon the darkness
Afterall every fable has its villain
So take a left, a right, then down the stairs
two more lefts across the hall yes right there

Now into the hidden chamber; I hope you aren’t afraid of danger

You’ll see your breath as it passes your mouth
She’s Behind the clouds, take light steps be careful. watch out.
She’s Slumped upon the ice cold floor.
An empty shell of a being who is no more
Occupying this dreary dungeon
Her head an inhabitant of dysfunction

A curious lass tainting my sanity
I’ll scrub till it’s raw purely for vanity,
hoping to salvage my only humanity
failing so desperately screaming profanity

I’ve been quite worried that her presence will ruin the picture of perfection
The stain in the glass the tiring infection
Perceivably why I didn’t pass the inspection

I’ve gone to my wit's end to hide her away
After all you know what they say

Is the demon really dead If you're too afraid to chop off her head?
If you wouldn’t dare let a soul see her bleed.
If you are too petrified to do the deed

So Do me a favor
keep your eyes locked on the scarlet stained concrete.
Don’t lose your gaze as her blood washes away beneath my feet.

For I was told when a tree falls in an empty forest
It lacks a rumble
So open your ears. And Listen for the ever-present tumble

This is my oath to write of peculiar things. I won’t lock away the. nightmares. I'll scribble down even the most sinister of dreams.

Thank you!! nice to meet you!

Hello,
Welcome to Steemit.
Im Suresh Bhuvan from India.
Nice to meet you friend.
I also started following you friend
You can also follow me friend.
Thank You
Best of Luck.

I hope you take constructive criticism, because even though the poem had structure it had no flow. and where it had flow was where you lost words. No offense. Otherwise good post

Well, I see the criticism part but where is the constructive part?

here: You can easily become better if you tackle other topics and practice free verse. Everything doesnt have to rhyme.

Thank you for elaborating on the comment @movievigilante made. I agree the first comment lacked the constructive part . I see where you are coming from! and I can agree the flow could have definitely been better! This poem was already me stepping out of my comfort zone when it comes to what I typically write, and as I learn and grow the steps I take along the way may be sloppy but I'll continue to move forward molding my technique. Definitely plan on practicing free verse and more writing styles in general! Anyways I appreciate the constructive criticism! I am always looking for ways to improve.

Love you too, boss :). Why dont you constructively criticise my work too? or maybe jut rip it apart XD

That's a very good poem and I like the way you read it too. I wrote a poem also, yesterday but it's a lot sillier than yours.

Thank you!!! I just checked out your poem! hehehe i liked it made me smile :)

Welcome to steemit. I also really like poetry. Kahlil Gibran is a reference to beautiful words in writing poetry.

Greetings know from indonesia.

Greetings know you @faerie. Sometimes I write poetry until I can not deny it with my own mind.
