Where am I? What is this place? A voice howls.
Industrialized walls of blood and rust.
Steam vents spewing ash in harsh, angry yowls.
All of your fears are a definite must.
Obstructed subway cars and stalking ghosts.
A pulsing mass of flesh in the tunnels.
You arrive with hope but leave with slim to none.
Your body is our host.
The fog is thick, as if through a funnel,
Spared judgment in the halo of the sun.
'
Strangled gasps and moans come from clogged wind pipes.
Faceless monsters drooling acid and smog.
The human's body is the armless type.
In a building with floors, damp as a bog.
Twin baby faces on a broad torso.
Stay bawling from their premature demise.
Once found in pure white now a foul crimson,
Her scalpel is more so.
Skinless canines, your flesh they do despise;
Their dagger fangs spark a rebellion.
'
Clad in charcoal boots and a butcher's smock,
Wielding his mammoth blade or trusty spear.
He is insanity. He lives to mock.
The scraping of metal is what you hear
He is your very own pale horse of death
He shows you your wrongs and stabs you with guilt
He calls forth the darkness. It must be lead.
'Till your very last breath.
Only when you leave will the shadows wilt
And you will be rid of Pyramid Head

My first ode ever! PHEW~ I've been working on it all night and finally finished it, so now I only need to make like 12 more poems till my poetry project in Creative Writing is finished. Oh my gosh, I never thought poems could be so fun to write :3 Other than that this is the first thing I've posted so yeah IT IS SO SCARY POSTING ON FF + CONFUSING
The second stanza really bothers me but I can't put my finger on it. So if you have any advice I'd really appreciate it. And I'm not the kind of person to wait months to change something in their post, if you suggest something and I agree that the story would work better with it I'll (with your permission) update it as soon as I'm done tweaking.
