Judgement:
You are a mewling coward and weakling
Offal to the world, yet too arrogant to admit it!
Unbridled by the feelings of shame and guilt;
A man who was naught but a self-serving sycophant...
Remember the days that you used to spend
Envious of others who worked harder than you
More and more you would curse at their backs
It was an act that blackened your tongue and soul!
Now as you gaze into the maw of the inferno
Endlessly waiting for the judge's call
Read the first letter of every line, and know the fate for which you fall.

She Believed
I stumble through my mind,
Weakened by the pain of years.
I always search but cannot find
The source of all my bitter tears.
I see a light, an anchor, a hope;
I limp faster, relieved by the sight.
I found a gentle, downward slope—
Like a rescue from a blight.
I lean on you, no longer afraid;
Finally I have found relief.
Tears dry, memories fade,
Like wind carries a wilted leaf.
But in the end, it wasn't true—
You held my heart yet let it die.
My anchor became my noose;
My trust was blinded to your lie.
How could I be so ignorant?
You pledged to never leave my side.
There's none to blame but myself—

We Are Already Ghosts
Heart rate monitors show
Minimal signs of life
But no more and no less
Than of a parasite
Feeding from a life-force
That's greater than itself
We are the lost children
In need of some help
X-ray images show
The absence of a heart
Incapable of love
We are ready to depart
All these forgotten girls
And all these forgotten boys
Together we will feel
The emptiness, the void
As MRI scans show
We have beautiful minds
Just no memory recall
Of any happy times
It's too little, too late
These words are verbose
We've long since departed
We are already ghosts

Sleep
Instead of ripping the covers off,
Shaking it violently,
And forcing cold breakfast down its throat,
I wish they would carefully wake a sleeping poem
And ask it gentle questions
Before its dreams are forgotten

Arrr maties,
Second release fer horror week. I wanted to do something different than the usual sadako stuff. I'll save the frightening things fer tomorrow. Instead, enjoy this rather demonic piece. It's nothin' special really, but I thought it would be a good idea to break from the usual form :3.
EDIT: To those who believe I spelled the title wrong. First go to this link: [link]
Then try typing judgment in a comment box. You'll find it turns red and gets corrected to judgement.
Thank you for your time and thanks for the view ^^

Overall Vision Originality Technique
ImpactA very beautiful poem!
It is very dark and taunting, written with slight feeling of superiority, as it should be, judging by the title and the motives. Perhaps, I would have liked 'stronger' words to emphasise the dark fate of the victim. Still, you did quite well.
The words are well chosen and somewhat unusual, which makes the poem all the more original. I personally like your choice of vocabulary and how you constructed the acrostic. Even the last sentence could be a part of the poem - it fits, like a message after the riddle.
It doesn't awake strong emotions, which is why I didn't give all five stars, but the feeling of dread is still there, especially in the last verse which is an excellent ending.
Well done! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="
