My Poetry Dump

Like Me

{This one is about Hello Neighbor, specifically about the  Protagonist/ Nicky}

In the empty shell of a man,

Torn apart by Destruction's claws,

Whose life was simple and light without

The strife of Reality's burdens,

Once stood a young boy, who once was me.

Though I cannot recall exactly

Memories of my childhood,

A passion fills my mind

Of justice not yet fulfilled before

My reason lost its grip on me.

To me it wasn't fair to leave

A fried like Aaron behind, the

Thought of him still haunts me and

It lingers in my mind so much

I wish that he were still alive.

Though he could be the one to blame

For his untimely fall, I know

That I was the one who

Initiated it all.

If I had only listened to

The counsel of my conscience,

We would have not been in that mess;

How strange that one's insanity

Could ever lead to another's.

Existence of this man alone

Struck in my heart a chord of fear,

I knew that he was all around

Me observing my every move.

I dread going back to where

I used to call my home, for I

Know that Insanity

Pursues me like a prowling wolf

When my mind begins to wander.

Perhaps deep down I know that in

My current state, I am no better

Then that man, for I know that

That man is just like me.
