Within me

Hassan Raza Hussain

Free verse
A boy lurks
A blasphemer, with malice
Desirer of dysfunction and chaos
He resides within
To watch everything break and crumble
Burn and turn to ash,
Is his aspiration
He does not hope , only despairs
And that despair he has turned into rage
He does not seek, only recedes
He is Everything I despise
But He, is me

    Wow! What an intense and powerful poem! Your use of dark and provocative language creates a raw and honest portrait of the inner turmoil within yourself. The way you explore the darker aspects of your psyche is truly impressive! It takes a lot of courage to confront these kinds of emotions and not shy away from them, and your poem does so in a striking and unforgettable way. Well done!
