What is this Place?

Abuse, Anger, Blood.
Why are these topics common?
Break, Broken, Cutting.
Is THIS what we have become?
Death, Depression, Drugs.
people think poems are:
Fear, Fire, Hate.
only for the dark and twisted.

Hurt, Kill, Lies.
These corrupt the image,
Lost,Murder, Pain
of poetry.
Suicide, Tears.
IS THAT your-
World

Christmas, Dreams, Friends.
The rare, yet cheerful topics.
Heart, Life, Love.
Why aren't there more?

What is this place?
Where evil rules,
Poetry's domain?

I miss the time when poetry was beauty.
