Demon Child
I am tethered to this place by blood alone. I am told to let go of the past, bury the tears, and bury the pain and the hate.
“Demon Child conceived from pain and hate, do you see the bruises that your hands create?”
A mother and father to love me when no one else does, to cradle me when I am falling apart, is that too much to ask?
“Demon Child wear that smile on your face, no one wants to see the sadness behind your mask.”
Won’t someone please help me to make the sadness quit?
“Demon Child, your soul is tortured because you deserve it.”
Born from man and woman I was taught to hate before my first birth date. “Demon Child wipe away your tears and accept your hellish fate.”

this poem is not an expression of something that happened or my life at the moment, i just like writing poems like this one!

its very very good, u must send it to a trust worthy site, really! very good. i too have been writing poems since i was 4 yrs old, and am very much into poetry and this is surely one of the best real live poems i have ever heard, in such a short word limit, u have expressed emotions as well as the entire world and the way it works!
keep it up!

Written very good, and paints a picture of emotion and sadness. I don't belief the demon child's soul is tortured because he/she deserves it. For your poem's purpose, I understand tht the demon child has suffered abuse and blames he/her self.

It's a very sad poem and a bit frightening. Is this an insight into your soul? Someone in your life must have shown you love. If your parents didn't then that is because of something lacking in them not you. It's never too late to find love if your open to it. I love you.

There's a book that tells you where you should go on your vacation. It's called your checkbook.
Knowledge is proud she knows so much; wisdom is humble that she knows no more. (Cowper)
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did. (Mark Twain)
You can't expect people to look eye to eye with you if you are looking down on them.
We can't always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future. (Franklin D. Roosevelt)
Be not simply good; be good for something. (Henry David Thoreau)

FIRST OF ALL WHY DO DO REFER TO YOURSELF AS "DEMON CHILD". DO YOU NOT KNOW REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU WERE ROPED INTO THIS NAME, YOU'RE NOT THIS THING. YOU ARE A REAL LIFE PERSON THAT HAS LOST YOUR WAY TO REAL LIFE. DON'T ASSIGN YOURSELF TO GLOOM AND DOOM. LIFE IS FULL OF SUNSHINE AND RAIN. NO ONE ESCAPES THESE TWO EVENTS, WE JUST DON'T KNOW THE WHENS, WHERES, HOWS, AND WHYS. WE ALL HAVE TEARS, SEEN AND UNSEEN. LEARN TO COPE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.SEEK HELP IF NEEDED. I SEE THAT YOU LIKE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF THROUGH POEMS. TRY TO WRITE SOME POSITIVE THINGS INSTEAD OF THE NEGATIVE THAT YOU SEEM TO BE DROWNING IN. DON'T LET THE NEGATIVE OVERRULE HOW YOU LIVE. YOU ARE ____"ALIVE"____!!!

It sounds a little like heavy metal music lyrics. Umm, is the speaker in the poem from a specific ethnic group? It is not nearly specific enough for me.

I liked it but was very relieved when you said that you were not the tortured child in the poem. Keep writing but try to broaden your horizons. Don't leave yourself open to possesion.

It is deep, you captured a dark kind of mood. Somewhat eery yet you are able to move the reader and poetry is all about being able to speak to others or let them feel what you are feeling and you captured that well....except I must admit it is very dark indeed.

Demons are self centered
that,s why they never entered....
... that's why they can't see
... what it is to be.
Demons are in pain
can't really use their brain
they need to be mentored.
Self consumed we walk through the room
without seeing
wanting only to be seen in our misery.
Love me, I have been hurt
Love me, I am dirt ... and I deserve it!
Nonsense !!!!!

That was great. I could see why people would consider it a bit dark though. But i'm cool with dark so I love it. You should really consider a publisher.
