-POEM!!-
I was looking for interesting stuff I might have forgotten in my documents -- and look what I found! Hahaa.. Wrote this a long time back...As she sat on the wooden pier
Her bared and undeniable fear
And the dripping of her silent tears
She sat there all through the night
Through the rain
In her lonely plight
Wondering why it had to be this way
Why it couldn’t be easy
Until the first light of day
She scrambled to her feet
Walking up to the house
Watching to see if her stepmother was around
When there was only silence
She slowly walked up to the fence
Slowly turning round the bend
Until she was seen by the unseen
She cried her silent tears again
Watching her stepmother’s eyes gleam
Stuck in the basement
As the day wore on
Pooled in her heart was only resentment
Trust in her stepmother
Three years ago was shattered
The first time she was dropped
No strings attached
A free fall through a dark abyss
On the door a solid latch
All she ever wanted
A mother to help
Now instead she’d gotten hell
Judging by her watch
Two days it had been
All she wanted to do was drink
Thirst burned like fire
Water and food her main desire
And her eyes like lead, tired
She found an old rusty knife
The same one her stepmother used
Three years ago to end a rat’s life
The blade was still sharp
It could still be used
She could end it all really soon
First her left wrist
Watching blood spill out
Feeling nothing but grief
Watching the crimson red form a puddle
At the hem of her skirt
Her hands uncontrollably shuddered
She didn’t want it to end
Not really
But this was the way it had to be
She screamed and yelled
Into the night
Startling an owl about to take flight
“Why? Why did it have to be?
I didnt do anything
And now its all going to end like this”
As she watched the blood drain from her arm
She had the calmest feeling
Although it was strange
Her vision blurred soon
But she could see clearly
The silhouette standing at the front of the room
Coming closer every second
Step by step it came
Cuddling her into her arms
“It' s time to come with me
I know you suffered much
But I promise its going to get better now,”
Her mother pulled her daughter to her feet
And suddenly her pain was gone
A sense of peace instead
As they walked on
She looked back and could see
Her own still form on the floor
As they walked on
Mother and daughter
She could see how it could all be better
