No pity for the weak.
#7
I think you could do without

"Raising up from the body I look down and see,
The man whom I despise, the man I killed... It was me.."

It was pretty obvious about half way through that the speaker was talking about himself, it's certainly obvious before these two last lines.

I agree with what everyone has said about the rhymes, no need to recap.

I think it would benefit the poem to stay in present tense, it would give it a greater sense of immediacy, which strengthens the emotional connection to the reader.

"Where does this hate come from,
I really can't say...
but it is real,
growing everyday."

"After the shot,
no more pain,
no more tears,
I feel completely free.
For the first time in my life
my soul is at ease."

Best,

Dale
How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
