Like A Crow by ~Beckieflitz:iconBeckieflitz:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


You sit on your perch in waiting
The pedestal you place yourself upon
So easily, and without care for the peasants below
Above the world, they're not your problem
Just seeking for gain of your own
Weed of a child though a child is innocent
Still, you wear that mask so well
You think it's a favour they need to see
So you let that handkerchief plummet to the ground
Wanting to be seen for all but the reality
They mistake it for wings you may have lost
And so you swoop, styled of course as a fall
Closing in on the prey, acting the hunted
Trapping them in psychological claws
Making them fight psychological wars
Until suddenly they see you for you
This entity not entirely seen
Wandering through the shadows
The darkness.
Well darkness, here is the light.

Don't worry, everything is fine.
Just thought of this one in bed last night. I wrote it about a couple of people that I know, based it on their actions.
But make of it what you will. :)

i hate it when people think they are better than everyone else, and use mind games to hide their true nature.

Yes, but then again. If we never found them out eventually... then we'd never know.

1, 2, Fuck you
You say I'm paranoid
Isn't that what you said
You say it's my imagination
And I'm fucked in the head

Thanks for the fave! xx

Great job, the last line is phenomenal; it brings the whole thing together in a somewhat malevolent way. I'd hate to be on the wrong end of that poem...
