Feel me as you never wanna see me
Like a monster beneath your bed.
Like a moth approaching the fire,
I'll be circling inside your head.

Feel me cause I ain't dead
As you thought that I've been killed.
I'm afraid you really don't know me!
You're blinded when your mind is filled!

Don't be afraid.
I'm not a criminal who'd escaped from vault.
This ain't an assault!
I'm here and I won't blame for any fault.

Hello there! Just two quick little things.

First, as the reviewer before me said "ain't" isn't a word. I feel that "isn't" might be a better word.

Second, the flow seemed off, even though the rhyme scheme was there. Perhaps the rhymes seemed a little forced.

I hope I helped a little.

I like this, especially the first two stanzas. The last one seems...off. Simply. I, personally, don't have any problem with "ain't". It's original (if I can say that), it brings another feeling or another touch to your poem and gives the narrator a personality.

This poem is alright, but I really can't garner a meaning from it. Also, replace "ain't" like everyone said. Sorry for such a vague answer, but I really couldn't understand the poem :/
