Silent Killer...

The silent killer creeping up behind you,
Is a mere projection of self in a reflective piece of glass,
No one weighs you down more than yourself,
Not even gravity, not even suspense,
All exterior factors are nonsense.

And, the more negativity clouds your mind,
The more it will project outward and attract evil of all kinds,
And, the more optimism defogs a mind of cluttered things,
The more it will project inward and bring you to happiness.

Silent but destructive this killer may be,
But, somehow you're still alive,
Breathing in beatings,
Breathing out exhaustion,
Mind running in chaotic circular motions,
But, sometime, somehow you'll get the notion,
That no matter what your past was compiled of,
It will always be a part of who you are,
Who you will be,
Your past will not dictate today and there after,
Today can be time for change,
Pessimism can be kicked off center stage.

Your reflection isn't much of a scary thing,
When you take the time to think,
In non-damaging ways,
Self destructive criticisms,
and sickly cynicism,
Shouldn't even be a part of your life,
Unless of course you never truly have the intention
of making things right.

I'm open to any suggestions. I really appreciate constructive criticism, it really helps me improve my writing. Thanks!

 

I lay down helpless with nowhere to go,
A woman appears in my dimly lit room.
She says, "They call it 'The Silent Killer' you know,"
I feel uneasy like a shotgun wedding groom.

I asked why they call it such a name,
Does it have a mask or even a knife?
And why is it after me and who is to blame?
She whispers, "It creeps up silently and takes your life."

As fast as one can, I'll run from this Killer,
This disease comes to claim my body and take it apart.
Piece by piece it wants to hack like a melodrama chiller,
my feet, my legs, my eyes, my kidneys and my heart.

This Silent Killer tries to take everything,
Should I go away, climb a mountain, or dig a hole?
Not afraid of anything that would kill my body,
Only the One who can destroy both body and soul!
