Blind With Anger - Ade Santora
↓ You're safe now
He's telling you It's gone
The boogeyman
You've met
Except
Monsters aren't real
He tells you
You can't trust it
That feeling inside that says
Listen to your instincts
How far has that gotten you
He'll take it from here ↑

I like the short and sharp lines, as they add to the terse feel of this poem. “Monsters aren’t real” is a good anchor line in the middle too. Nice!
LOVED
Oh I especially loved the arrows because if not for it, I wouldn't have read the poem from bottom to top! You executed this so brilliantly!
This is amazing. Great job.
