Okay - so most of the poetry I wrote when I was younger (teen years) was pretty dark. But- I thought I would share a few. Today:

Death by Lory Atchley
(written sometime in the early 1990's)

Deaths see's only life
Death see's no color, race or religion
Death see's no age, sex or disability
Death doesn't see love or hate
-it cannot distinguish between the two
Death doesn't see the campionship between lovers, friends or family
Death see's no pain
Death see's no loneliness
-and doesn't know loss
Death know's only life and how to destroy it
Death shows no sympathy
Death shows no tears
Death shows no life
Death takes the soul and leaves us to bury the dead
Death comes when it wants
Death comes how it wants
Death comes without warning
Death does what it wants
Death proves to have no emotions
Death sees only life
-and knows only to destroy it
