What the front door.


When the kingdom falls,
You will be left here to rot
In your misery and shame,
But you don’t have to go alone.
You can bring a friend
if you like,
So for once you can feel wanted,
And greeted-except by the nothingness
That will consume you
on your way down.
You will be able
to taste the sweet
Descent into madness.
If you’ve already tasted it,
Then your stomach
will bulge from too many
Mouthfuls of insanity.

This is the only place
that rotten people like you
Have left to go….

The feelings of your king
are bottled up.
He could not warn you
Of what this place holds.
Take your king and shatter him
into a million pieces.
Then piece them back together,
seal the cracks with superglue,
But only a little so that
justice can seep through.
Then set the bottle on fire.
Take it to the edge of a cliff,
and leave it their to burn.
Now this will be a very wild fire,
And it will spread rapidly,….
So Jump.

every word in this has my attention, you capture emotion and detail, and all I can say is it's perfect and i wouldn't change not even one word in it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!-i shouldnt have done that-it made it seem like i was yelling at you. i added that line to make the poem a little more clear, so people could see the poem was about a king who did wrong and so his people paid for it. so i guess there wasnt really a way out for them like the title says-since they jumped off a cliff....

"Then piece them back together,

"Leave it their to burn" should have "there", but other than that--this just gets me. Insaneprincess already said it. Favorite aspect is probably how it builds up to the end.
