My pain scatters,

Piercing the bone,

Chilling my heart.

I want to be good,

But I can't be.

All hope is lost,

But I won't give in.

The battle I fight,

Is one I must do alone.

For I fight myself,

The dark side of me,

So listen close.

Remember me,

But I mustn't let,

Anyone in.

The author's comments:

This piece is about that feeling of hopelessness where you think you alone must fight that battle and it's not to make you sad but remind people that when your being mean, think about those less fortunate and remember that some people are hurting and you may be hurting that person.

cool, you actually know what your writing abt and why(:
it is rly cool tho. maybe rephrase the last lines, its somewhat confusing when the end should be the most powerful and well worded part.
