Infected: A Poem

[Roachleader]

I sort-of attempted to write a poem in the point-of-view of a person who is in the process of turning into a zombie, this is what i came up with.

Shut myself into the blackness, i'm nothing in this world.

My mind full of madness, my inner plots unfurled.

I think nothing of the family, whom I happily left behind.

I only wish to rot in the dark, where happiness i find.

This black mist covers my soul, like night takes over day.

My tears and sorrow long gone, forever locked away.

I've been cursed and forsaken, to the devil my soul I give.

I only hunger for one thing, The flesh of those who live.

Excellent poem, kind sir! Really love the consistency of the lines, how each one is broken up into two clauses by a comma. Nice job! Have some hard earned [brains]

This has great rhyem and flowes really well. Some of the darker lyrics almost shoked me leaving a kind of chill after having read it. Over all a really well written poem.

I think it's great.
