Doing Some Lines

by Blake Hull

These are poems not of flowers, not of sunshine nor of love. This collection is that shadow you were thinking of. That dark place in your mind where you don’t dare to tread. It’s that feeling that keeps you up while you’re lying in bed, the one that makes you wish you were dead. It’s the sensation that gives you a heavy heart, the one that tears your soul apart.These are words that will leave you broken and bleeding, on the floor begging and pleading. They’re similes and metaphors that are crafted with guts and gore. They’re poetic prose with all of the thorns and none of the roses. They’re allegorical alliterations actively attempting to alarm any and all audiences.In spite of their tone, these poems serve as a sort of beacon to those who are weighed down by doom and gloom. Even though you’re feeling dismally and disastrously depressed, you can take comfort in the fact that there are other people out there who are going through relatively the same thing.
