Poetry: Self-hatred

by Samantha Dunn

Created on: September 13, 2009

Titled: Elemental Emotions


Dusky shadows of nightfall,

Grace my heart in loneliness.

Starlight glinting in my eyes,

Consumes my soul in abjectness.


Darkness cloaks my tears,

Starlit streams glisten.

Night sounds cover sobs,

For no one else to listen.


Blackness swirls around me,

Torrential storm of emotion.

Wind sweeping through my hair,

Desperate devotions.


Hard ground beneath my hands,

Fallen body of mine.

Trembling with thoughtless grief,

Thickening scent of pine.


Curl into myself,

The sickness in my mind.

Tears me from inside.

This self-hatred I wish to bind.
