The Shadows Eyes in the still darkness Squeeze shut as she looks Fear, rather paranoia, envelopes her; The being in the shadows remains The young girl continues to walk So slowly; the muscles tense Her breathing is short Movement is rapid in her eyes She hears the rustling of leaves Whirling around, seeing nothing Sighs, for she breathed not enough She continues to walk Breath is scarce; her lungs burn Ears listen, eyes watch vigorously Her every movement is detailed, careful Paces were shorter, slower, cautious She feels it, the being soffocating her With fear, and power, no mercy She hears its; it walks so deliberately Tears move down the girl's face It lunged for her, no mercy in mind It grabs her around the waste Drags her into the shadows Drags her out of present, into past She remembers; she knows the vampires They like the night, the darkness Each one mutilates her more Changing the past, the present, her future It let's her go; she crawls to the light They won't change her need for light Stay away from the shadows, Bad things are in the dark. Convincing herself; she tells no one else The vampires have closed her mouth The truth will be kept silent She can never tell.
Reason for writing:
I get bored easily, and last year was the beginning of my writing career. I started writing poems to express myself. I read a story in a library book that inspired me to write a story along with it, and I made a poem about rape, though it's not the same as the story i wrote. You can find that at: http://www.spydersempire.com/forum/poetry/.
