I wrote this poem when I was in 9th grade. It is based on hatred that I felt, and which is buried deep inside me.

Something is in this poem that everyone can relate

──────── ˚ ₊ ‧ ⋆ ──────── In the depths of my heart, an abyss does dwell, An abode of whispers, where shadows swell. I lay myself bare, each verse a thread, Seeking to fill the void where my silence spread. ────────˚ ₊ ‧ ⋆ ──────── ⟪ r a n k i n g s ⟫ #1 in spokenword - 10/01/24 #1 in spokenwordpoetry - 25/03/25 #1 in spokenwordpoem - 25/03/25 #5 in poetry - 28/03/25 #25 in poetrycollection - 30/03/25 #20 in poembook - 30/03/25 ⟪ a c h i e v e m e n t s ⟫ Shortlisted under "Poetry Category" in "Unification: An Awards Show"
