Moodiness does pay off. This was written in eighth grade at a bit of an emotional time. Emotion, especially depression, does help. I'm so very happy about the Mod's pick, though. Fanks guys!

                    Cult 37     

 

   Open the old oak door,

   And inside you will find-

   All the poor little souls,

   That careless people have left behind.

 

   Two little girls,

   Each one uncertain of their fate.

   Each one sad, lonely,

   And consumed by hate.

 

   A thin, balding man-

   Eyes consumed by darkness,

   Looks through empty black holes…

   At this mess, at all of this…

 

   This is the Cult,

   Cult number 37-

   All these people are lost,

   Lost on their way to Heaven…

 

   I am one of these poor souls,

   Lost on my way to heaven.

   I am part of this Cult,

   Cult number 37.

 

   Love did this to them,

   Love tortured their soul,

   It turned them to stone,

   Left them with no place to go.

 

   A song of the unsung,

   A ballad of the torn.

   A heart that still weeps,

   Feet tired and worn.

 

   In this small room,

   Where distress mingles with despair,

   Behind the oak door,

   In the stale, stagnant air.

 

   Are the voices of the forgotten.

   The forgotten residents of Cult 37.

   That got terribly lost,

   Lost on their way to Heaven.

My Dear Amy,
Please tell me you are not in a cult! Congrats on your "mods choice" selection. Your talent for the "dark" is so apparent but we also love your light and bright side. Let all areas shine and just keep writing! We are proud of you and hope you feel our strength and support.
Love Grammie

All I have to say is grab hold of this, emotion writes itself, you are wonderful in words and phrases. Continue always, I have stopped and cant re-start, and it hurts somtimes.

I'm generally not the fondest of poems, but... this does have a certain beat to it. The "A song of the unsung" stanza, in particular, stirred up something rather fidgety in me...

Out of curiosity, where'd you get the "Cult 37" from? Did it just pop into your head, or does that have some special meaning for you? Not to pry, or anything. ^_^
