Slenderman
Walking in the trees
I was told to never do,
For the feared "Tall Man"
Would kill me with ease.
I didn't pay heed
And wandered in anyway
And then I saw the note
"I game I want to play."
I read it, and saw to my surprise
"Eight pages you must find,
Do this and you will live,
If not, fear will stand before your eyes."
I swallowed in fear,
For this was the Slenderman,
Who wandered these woods,
And took our lives so dear.
I set off to find the pages,
Only a flashlight in my hand,
Finally, I found the first of eight
An act, which took ages.
I found the next two in a breeze
And felt more confident
Until I heard the drums
Echoing through the trees.
It wasn't until I entered the house
When I saw him,
The dreaded Slenderman,
Then I felt small as a mouse
I found the fourth page and ran,
Past the dreaded creature,
I leaned on a tree and said to myself
"Seriously, dude, be a man."
I found the next three
with no incident,
As I hunted the final page,
I thought, "finally, I'll be free."
And then I turned my head,
And saw him stalking me
And suddenly, there he was,
The thing I most dread.
So now I wander,
A ghost of the forest,
Along with many others,
Left to do nothing, but ponder.
What if I had not entered, on that fateful night?
Would I be home, with my family,
or would I have left now,
to carry my own light?
So beware, child of man
When you look into the woods,
Run as far as you can
Or risk being caught, by the dreaded Slenderman.
