They Slew Me
They tore out my heart,
These demons of discord and malice.
They feasted on it,
Those demons of hatred and spite.
I had no chance,
Not a prayer,
I didn’t even resist.
And this life it keeps going,
And I can never stop it.
Everyday,
One more day,
I live to rue my existence.
I can’t deny,
I’ve had a hand in my own demise.
It’s so unfair,
I was so young.
Despite even that and my innocence,
They slew me anyway.
So lays my slain body,
Fallen to the ground.

Strong words of great regret and victimization. Vivid imagery.
I like your use of spacing style with this poem. Helps with the cadance of reading it. Who are your favorite poets?
I don’t really have a favorite poet I like to read a lot of different kinds of books and poems
I hope you find peace, In sha Allah
