Literature Text

Come and get me
I fear no evil.
You think I'm trembling
But I am not.
You think I'm crying
But I am not.
My knees are shaking,
But it is not
What you are thinking-
I am not

The kind of person
Who would tremble,
The kind of person
Who would cry,
The kind of person
Who would dare
To show that they're afraid
To Die.
And if I do begin to
Quiver,
If I do begin to
Weep,
If I look like I am ready
To embrace eternal sleep;

You can wrap me up in shadows,
You can rip my frame apart,
You can gouge out both my eyes and then,
Feast on my beating heart.
You can cast me into nothing,
You can turn me into air,
You can choke me, drown me, pull me down-
Whatever Death you dare.
And I promise in that moment
I shall fear no evil still
There's a quiet light inside of me
That you can never kill
Come and get me
I'm not frightened
Come and get me-
If you will.
Inspired by the Slenderman. Seeeeriously, that guy will make you think about death. 8/

Wasn't really sure about the varying rhyme scheme. I wanted to make it flow, but the change in structure probably doesn't help that much. I'm fairly happy with it, however. and I don't think it TOTALLY reeks of angst. XD Though if you disagree, by all means, tell me. I'm opening this baby to critique. Why? I want to make my writing better. I'm not going to improve if I sit in a corner and suck my thumb, so-

Tell me what you think. Honestly. ;)
