*waves madly* HELLO! I like poetry! *waves even more madly* This is my favorite poem I’ve written. It’s a Dystopian story poem with a negative character arc.

They took my heart.
They burned it to ashes.
They tear us apart.
Life weakly flashes.

They do what they want.
They destroy people’s lives.
From safety they taunt
All those with knives.

I watch their evil,
Their mercilessness.
They don’t fear upheaval,
Encircling us.

I’m done with their tricks.
I’m done with their games.
I’ll start the conflicts.
I’ll encourage the flames.

It’s happening.
It’s real.
Their grip is slackening.
To them it’s surreal.

I’m doing what it takes.
I’m crossing the hard lines.
As their rule breaks,
It will be mine.
