The Irony

The full moon shines immensely tonight,
casting shadows which contrast the bright.

I walk alone in my own cruel misery,
dripping crimson puddles in line behind me.

The trees whisper a soft echo above.
"Do you not wish you were truly loved?"

I ignore the taunts of the spiteful variety,
But now I can't help but notice the irony:

My mind is in darkness as I supposedly walk alone.
But the road shines brightly showing me my home.

I close my eyes for I wish not to see that sight.
My home brings me no comfort, only pitiful fright.

I continue my stroll down my soul-freeing path,
Opening my skin to release enclosed wrath.

Between two clouds I see a star in the sky.
I look at my wrists, but beauty I do not see.

Between my skin I see blood before my eye,
I look at my wrists, and pity is what I see.

Dizziness begins to overwhelm my conscious,
Blinding my eyes by an internal darkness.

I feel light slipping away.
I see darkness coming my way.

Now I am dreaming in a soft world of blue.
Why does my afterlife have such a peaceful hue?

Red and black is what I deserve.
Fire and ashes is what I'll be served.

I float in this realm of which nobody knows.
I look at my wrists and notice the gaps close.

As I continue my peaceful float,
my happiness ends on a short note.

My hover abruptly switches to a rapid decline.
I'm falling towards hell to pay for my crime.

Fire burst around my soul, trying to consume.
I try to remember the bliss of the preceding blue hue.

An excruciating pain screams through my veins.
Corrosion spreads through me, mounting my shame.

I hear a voice in the distance, and expect it to say.
"You are mine to own, your soul I now claim!"

Instead of the assumed I only hear it yell,
"Clear!" real loudly, then my mind returns to hell.

I know of the outcome if I choose to listen;
It beats this misery I currently exist in.  

"Clear!" comes the voice, accompanied by a shock.
The fires begin to diminish, clearing my thought.

I hear the voice one more time,
cheers erupting shortly after.
Soft beeps pulse in my mind,
along with my parent's sobbing laughter.

I lie with my eyes closed in exhaustion,
Recounting the outcome of my emotions.

I hear voices of the friendly variety.
Now I can't help but notice the irony.
I really have no explanation for this one. All I can say is read it and enjoy!

Wow this was great.... it rhymed really well, and I like how you used "Clear!" in this. I also like how you takl about the full moon, casting shadows which contrats the bright. That was a great beginning. It really draws the reader in. Eek I also like how you say that the trees are whispering... and it's taunts of a spiteful variety. But then at the end you hear voices of the friendly variety. So I like how you placed those into the poem.

The whole thing was great, very nice job indeed.
