Well, my teacher decided to give us a project during our Finals, and part of it was to write a poem about our favorite book (it's one of those poems, where the teacher is like, "Now class, you have to use anaphora, onomatopoeia, allusion, etc.") And since The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is one of my favorite books, I wrote this poem a few hours ago. And since I really liked it, I was like, "I'll just post it on FanFiction!" Reviews are loved.

Thanks for reading!


I am Death, reincarnated into a sixteen year old girl

Wearing the ashes of those I have killed

Holding in my hand the hearts of my victims

And smiling sweetly about their end.

. . .

I am Death, reincarnated into a sixteen year old girl

Going to school every day with two brothers

Who stand up for the wrongs that I have committed

Because they have not seen the inside of my mind.

. . .

I am Death, reincarnated into a sixteen year old girl

Crying the tears of those who can no longer fell

Watching a shard of glass rip into my hand

And sighing at the crimson that drips out.

. . .

I am Death, reincarnated into a sixteen year old girl

Falling in love with man I can never have

Who believes that there is still good inside of me

Even though he has been part of my body count.

. . .

I Am

Death

And I

Have

Killed

. . .

I am Death, reincarnated into a sixteen year old girl

Holding a gun in the palm of my hand

Listening to a prophecy predicting the death of a friend

Whose murderer is the pseudonym M-A-R-A.

. . .

I am Death, reincarnated into a sixteen year old girl

Who is diagnosed with mental illnesses

And looked down upon by my peers

I am a girl that no one will listen to or believe.

. . .

I am Death, reincarnated into a sixteen year old girl

But to you, I am your helpless daughter

To you, I am your girlfriend that you would die for

And to you, I am the girl that sits beside you in Spanish Class.

. . .

I am Death, reincarnated into a sixteen year old girl

But to you, I am the girl that was in the accident

To you, I am the one who screamed while her friends were crushed

And to you, I am just a normal, sixteen year old girl.

. . .

I am

Death

And I

Have

Sinned

. . .

I am Death, reincarnated into a sixteen year old girl

I am your worst nightmare in real life

I am the holder of your hopes and dreams

I am the one that will crush them into sand.

. . .

I am Death, reincarnated into a sixteen year old girl

With a breathing family and dead foes

I can wish for your death and it will be inevitable

There is nothing you can do to stop me.

. . .

I am Death, reincarnated into a sixteen year old girl

Who loves to listen to Death Cab for Cutie

And has a lawyer and a psychiatrist

That will never, ever be able to help me as I am a hopeless case.

. . .

I am Death, reincarnated into a sixteen year old girl

I have a face and body and a will in my head

I can mangle your body into nothing and end your life

I am a sociopath and a schizophrenic.

. . .

I Am

Death

And You

Are

Next
