Emotional Vampire
Endangered Species
Thoughts are racing
Emotions are void
Here we go
One more exploit
Living on the edge
Way past extreme
You're scared as hell
Just refuse to scream
When you cry
Or when you're sad
I laugh out loud
Your life's not bad
Don't know why
You're attention seeking
You pass the caskets I've passed
You'd really be freaking
Why am I so cold
Why don't I care
I have no love left
None to share
Just sit still
Just look pretty
I'll make you cry
And I'll show no pity
I feed off weakness
I have no compassion
Just a blood-thirsty lust
For pain without passion
Don't even dare
If you're faint-hearted
I will literally destroy you
Before we get started
Evil and rotten
Right down to the core
I'll rip your heart out
You'll come back for more
I create lots of turmoil
Cause lots of friction
But you just can't leave me
I'm like an addiction
I wouldn't kill you
That would be rude
Dead you'd have no emotions
I need that for food
So I'll just drain you
I'll keep you in check
I'll make damn sure
You're an emotional wreck

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.

The depth of emotion expressed In this poem reveals a tremendous amount of bravery and courage. ♥️
I read this and imagined it was rock/heavy metal song! This is amazing work, and if you're musically talented, I'd listen the hell out of this if it were a song!
Crawl over broken glass and I'll slowly pour lemon aid over your lacerated body...
You went to the school of Tina's Revenge, I see!
Congratulations Jim! Keep going!! I can identify, death & grieving can lead to depression & feel like oppression. I’m glad you are using your writings as a outlet. Let it out my friend!
This could be an awesome death metal song
Loved this one. Congrats on top story!
“You pass the caskets I’ve passed” — spine tingling! Such a great flowing and emotive read. I enjoyed all the rhyming sounds with an unpredictable scheme. I’m now subscribed btw. And I love your little Bio! I also appreciate your afterward in the comments.
