Defeated in Hades.

Slain and dragged into Hades,
A crusade for my soul is proclaimed,
Though it’s an endeavor ridiculed by forlorn mortals,
And the battle cry void of fervor,
I forged ahead.
I waded in and made a solemn pledge,
That defeat shall never be my denouement.
Only one shall prevail,
My soul or the obliteration of the entire inferno.
As I massacred my demons,
I began to morph into a diabolical immortal.
When I found my soul,
It failed to recognize me,
For I have turned into an unrecognizable savage,
Emanating fury and grim,
I have become the infernal Being I tried to destroy,
With all hope gone,
I fell on my knees in defeat,
And surrendered to the shadows of Hades.

This is a very dark, very morbid poem. In the beginning, it is filled with a kind of desperate anger, which in released in a violent manner. By the end there was some relief, then pain and realisation that the character has been turned from by it's own soul. I really enjoyed it and thought it was really well written. It tells a story, from beginning to end. It is a short story, yet one filled with emotion and action. It flowed really well and was a good read in all. Well done and keep writiting.

Thank you very much. :D
