Sickness This work has been published in the Teen Ink monthly print magazine.

By
You wreak black
like nightfall.
You words are
dark and sharp.
You spear hearts
to see them bleed.
You run wild
with the sun
which so willingly
burns you.
Your harsh words
have never echoed
so clear and sound
with the wind.
Your words dug
gashes in the moon
and light the sky.
Dark looms and
has never hesitated.
We wonder why

Agreed.  Please respect the writer and write about her poem, not on your life revolving around it.

much agreed... do you know how much emotion is in this? Can you feel the power in every word? ig not. Maybe if you would read the poem then you would have an appreciation for it.

Amazing!  I love this, in fact I'm going to rate it 5 of 5 and set it as one of my favorites!  The ONLY thing that I would change is maybe sepperating some sections it stanzas instead of having one connected stanza, but again, i love it!
