Born of light and dark intentions
knowing not, the joy of acceptance
isolation, so serene
creator vows not to intervene
exploring life like a child
hatred bound, exceptionally wild
mangled face, open heart
hateful reception
admiring from afar
leap of courage, joy, and hope
poor reception and insults thrown
beaten down, running away
scarred for life, forever dismay
burn the home and torch the past
anger fueled and running fast
rush of water, painful current
savior of child, warrior wounded
bleeding limbs and broken hearts
yearning for a way to restart
seeking brethren in the woods
wretched intentions, misunderstood
purple marks about the neck
brother of victor, lying dead.
satisfaction, newfound goals
blame is placed, creation abhorred
seeking out thine detested creator
tormenting threats, intellectual banter
ultimatum, stories told
β€œcreate another by my mold”
creature of spite and dark intentions
never to know the joy of acceptance.
There's actually a story behind this one.  Last term in English, we read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and we had to do a project that illustrated the creature, so naturally i waited until the last minute, wrote a poem really quick (like didn't even read it over before turning it in quick) and then forgot about it.  Just a few minutes ago, i was cleaning out my google drive and found it and what better a place to deposit my left over school project.  So there we have it, my cryptic analysis on the characterization of Frankenstein's Creature
