LightHouse

by Amber   May 23, 2008


Here I am laying on the ground
trying to find the strength I once found
to get up. Slowly I find that strength and
stand up,. My knees are wobbling, "Stop it" I demand
them, "Please let me walk." I finally start
to move, making my way through part
of this destroyed city. When I see
light. Maybe its someone to help me.
I try to run to the light but the pain
in my legs is unbearable, it causes me to fall again.
I only stay down for a minute when I force
myself up to continue to the source
of the light. The light is getting brighter
as I get closer to it, Also it seems to get whiter.
Now I realize the light came from the
lighthouse that just sits in the middle of the sea.
I cry out in frustration because now I
realize there is noone to save me. Slowly my
eyes close and I fall to the ground again
and scream out in agony and pain.
I open my eyes once again and look
at the light house and just shook
as I slowly drifted off to my death.

    Just an idea:

    Slowly my
    eyes close and I fall to the ground again

    slowly should start of the new line, not eyes. that way 'me' from the line before would rhyme with sea.

    Claps* This would make a beautifully tragic song as well as a kick ass music video. Five out of five for sure. You did a great job. You have a very interesting writing style in the sense of how you stop in the middle of a sentence to show the rhyming words. I mean, I'm sure many read the poem incorrectly and stop at each line, but the trick is to keep reading with no stops, read it like a song.
