Why do you wear that stupid man suit? *
Take it off and peek within
You might find the heart of a brute
Beating underneath your skin.
A ray of sunlight like a border
Hell and Heaven's wary truce
Come the night you sense disorder
Feel your rage come bursting loose.
You sneer at meaningless convention
Artifice in every face
Laughing off absurd pretension
Leaving you without a place
You've pared your life down to the bone
Are you afraid to die alone?

its the end of the world as we know it...and i feel fine...
Not sure what it "means" but I liked it anyways.
Do you know I just watched Donnie Darko for the first time very recently? Sometimes I'm wayyyyy behind. I loved it. This was a great poem!
Where it came from, I love it! :) Awesome posting and the picture was so fitting!!!
I haven't seen Donnie Darko, but love your poem. I think we all may be afraid to die alone, maybe?
ooooooh i forgot he was so young, hee! very interesting.
Great movie, now I want to watch it!
I love the ending, clever!
Gosh, this certainly opens a can of worms! Very dark and intriguing piece.
I haven't seen the movie, either, but I just watched a trailer online, and read about the movie, to get a sense of it. Your poem seems to be perfect for the prompt, and perfectly written.
