Vision

Shattered nights turn to cold dreams 
Alone in my mind who will ever understand me
I meditate with sight on how to be free
But free isn't cheap especially for me
Imagine being cast out into a dangerous place 
Various times I look death in the face
I shivered at first from his cold dark stare
After a while I seemed to quite not care
Immunity... Tolerance
Whichever way you put it
Evil is a drug it just depends on how you use it
Evil is an emotion that is grown over time
Evil is how I feel about sacrifice 
Silver dagger black cloak
Right in the throat
Can't say too much the walls have ears
They run back to the universe who tell all ears
Shooting stars and firey moons
Plants and animals alike 
We all have the same goal
What is next after this life?

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
