AN: Okay, so I wanted to post this (all though I didn't know where) and see what people think before I actually have to present this in front of a class. An criticism or any tips anyone may have that could help me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jes.
Running Away
Running.
Thump, thump,
A steady beat,
Like the one of my heart.
Pushing myself,
My thoughts
Out.
Forgetting everything,
But the gentle breeze of the wind
As I run.
Mein Bruder
Little names called,
Trying to trip me up.
The music blaring
Trying to drown him out.
Like the annoying buzz of a fly,
The insults run through my head
All day long.
Never letting up.
I never do anything back,
Afraid of what might happen
Next.
This is the kind of relationship
Me and my brother have.
A True Angel
Missing.
Her child was stolen
Right out of his bed.
No one knew
What had happened.
Terror.
She just got the call
From them
Asking for a sum,
So high she can't pay.
Horror.
They found him today.
He was dead.
The pain she felt was
Unbelievable.
Hope.
Now she helps those
Who have gone through
The same thing.
It makes them
Feel better,
Like the warm hugs she gives.
They know she's there
When they need her.
She is a true
Angel.
Pretending
Oh, how time flies.
I've heard it before,
But never does it seem true.
Sunrise, sunset,
Doesn't matter anymore.
It jus leads to bad things,
The monsters that haunt
Your nightmares, crawling
Under the bed.
And knowing that when
The sunrises you have nothing
To look forward to.
The names, the lies,
The things no one should ever know.
The fake smiles
We all see,
But do you ever wonder
What caused that pain,
Many do, but never ask.
And just let them keep
Pretending.
