    There's a little poetry contest going on at my school. Naturally, for lack of anything better to do, I'm going to enter it. Can't really decide which poem I should enter, though, of the two I wrote... I sort of have an idea, but bleh. Lemme know what you guys think.

    "In The Night"

    Bleeding scarlet roses
    Crimson bloody petals
    In the back of my mind,
    I can see a glowing ivory sphere
    With running red rivirs
    Dripping off into a pool
    A growing vermilion puddle
    Rippling with reflections
    Of an astral Apocalypse
    Of stars ever-shining
    And comets ever-soaring
    With meteor-shower rains
    Ripping holes in the fabric of time
    As sable shadow tendrils
    From the pits of Judecca
    Reach up above all
    To rape the Heavens
    And bury everything
    In the grave of the night
    And let vampires and werewolves roam
    Under the light of the bleeding moon
    To steal our souls and breath
    As devilish shadows creep
    And impish voices laugh
    As these lost souls
    Who follow Satan's song
    And the cacophony of screams that makes Hell sing
    In an endless dance of the damned.

    "My Morning Star"

    Like a piercing winter chill
    Darkness no emotion could ever fill
    Hope sliced with tendrils of defeat
    That explains why the morbid is so sweet
    Like a never-ending puzzle in my head
    Can't figure out why I'm better off dead
    Why is it in the shadows I confide?
    Why do I keep thinking of suicide?
    Why can't I keep my thoughts straight?
    Why, for the good, do I have to wait?
    Why can't I just let it all go?
    Why is there no one to tell me no?
    Why is there no sun to wash away the cold?
    Why do I have to be afraid rather than bold?
    Why can't it all just go away?
    Why do I have to suffer everyday?
    Why, God, do you make me cry?
    Why does everything good pass me by?
    Was it because I didn't care enough?
    Is that why you made my life so tough?
    Was this just some kind of test?
    Is that why there's this dagger in my chest?
    This must be how he felt when he fell
    When he was banished to Hell
    I won't let you get the best of me
    I'll pull through, I'll make you see
    Just like him, I will endure
    And you will never be my cure
    I will always look to that star
    That shines in morning, near or far
    My hope will come from this bringer of light
    And I will no longer worry over your endless blight
    No more will you make me cry
    As long as my love is near by
    And together we will go
    Further into what is unknown
    She and I won't be afraid
    That we won't reach this 'paradise' you made
    I'll live for her and her for I
    And let everyone else just pass us by
    We won't fear what they think
    When we refuse to join their endless link
    We will walk our own path
    And we won't fear your wrath
    We'll walk with heads held high
    And like that, together, we will die
    And when the day of judgement comes
    We won't regret a single thing we've done
