*Written for Abed's Hunger Games Contest Round...
Haunting flashbacks parade through thy mind...
A mystery waiting to unfold,
wafted by unseen winds...
Innocence becomes the prey
As a monster descends upon the day...
Behind red eyes
Lurks a monstrous creature...
Grip my throat,
squeeze, squeeze...
Thick skin is exactly what I have
Not from getting stronger...
For as long as I can remember
For as long as I live...
I step up
I fall down...
She turns her back on life
She retreats to the darkness...
Once again I hear the whisper of poisonous...
Conflicted and uncaring testing the walls that...
Set this world on fire.
Flash a blaze with every wisper...
What spirit is this that steals my sleep
And haunts me from the past...
