From the Shadows

E - Everyone

In Poetry

From the shadows,

It feeds on those who fear.

It breaks the hearts of many,

And takes all you hold dear.

~

From the shadows,

He watches you day and night,

Waiting till you fall asleep

Then devouring you without a fight.

~

From the shadows,

He chants your name.

Marking your definite end.

Run... you're the one to blame.

Good job. I like your poems because they're more on the shorter side, I get bored when reading really long poetry.

Hi, J here for a review.
I like this poem and I'm not sure you meant to do this but it feels like you were writing directly to a wide range of subjects, if you know what I mean.
Someone with depression could view it as their unhappiness, someone with anxiety could as a panic attack @me,someone who is being bullied could view it as their attacker. I'm not sure you meant for this to happen but it is a really good message and an even better, well-written poem. Over all good job and if you would like PM me with your intents for the view on this poem. Sorry for the mistakes i cannot backspace on my computer right now and its messing me up;)

Good Job and Keep Writing!!

Hello! DragonNoir here for a review!

*feels chills down spine* So scary... I really love this! It's a really scary and suspenseful piece of poetry, but also enigmatic, because of the last line. However, it's a bit confusing, because the 'monster' suddenly changes from an 'it' to a 'he', which can be interpreted in multiple ways. Overall, amazing!!
