Challenge
Poetry contest. Twenty word minimum. First place will be decided based on the poem, of course, though the number of comments posted by others will be factored in (critiques or praise, no one word or three word quickies) and those who comment should "like" it to keep the judges looking for updated reads. Write a poem about anything. Aim for the gut. Winner gets $100.
Monster
You think everything is alright,
But you don't see the battle I fight,
I go to war everday,
With the demon that never goes away,
My enemy is the most terrible foe,
One who many know,
I see the beast all the time,
Well, maybe not all the time,
But it is always with me,
I can't even lock myself away with a key,
Because it would still follow me,
I attack the creature with a blade,
Yet I eventually always come to its aid,
I never let it fade,
Maybe that makes me a coward,
Only a coward wouldn't be able to kill themselves.
