Blaming Yourself
In my dreams, there are devil’s haunting my soul.
Descending me slowly into hell is they’re goal.
Lying, cheating, killing,
Deceiving, stealing.
Taking over your every thought,
Wrecking all you found, all you’ve sought.
Driving you crazy, making you insane,
And looking around, you’re the only one to blame.
I like the insight i this poem. For some reason, I didn't expect the message of the poem, based on the title. I thought it was going to be about not blaming yourself if you aren't to blame! I don't have any idea why I thought that. Instead, it's about a time when it's appropriate and good to look around and see that we all create our own hell through our lower natures. Very Good. I like the first part of the last sentence, "And looking around,..." because it saves the poem from being "preachy"; it sounds thoughtful instead.
