What do you think of this poem?

Forty meters from the sea



Stands an awkward man in black clothing



In his defeated hand



He grips a bouquet of prickly white roses



Tightly; the blood from his hand dirties his white cuff



The expression on his face is one of triumph



And yet his aura screams sorrowfully



If you walk up close enough to him



You can make out a piece of paper



A list of names unread; a checkbook of horrors



He does not speak, but merely drifts



Not walking, not moving



But he is not standing still



Could he be floating?



I am the only one who knows



Where he stands, he crushed a sandcastle



It was mine



He wanted me to weep, but



It was a structure of little importance to me



I was only four



I did not build it



I found it



So when it fell, I did not cry



When the sun went down, suddenly



There was a deafening boom



His roses grew thorns; he began to bleed as you see him now



I am looking to build again someday



But before I do, I wish to read his list



I need to know their names



And I am willing to wait



Until roses consume him

It's kind of scary yet interesting I think that is a wonderful poem I love it! You could make a living with poetry!

It's kinda scary. And Emo!
