Hi guys! Here is a story or poem (however u wanna call it) I made up myself about a boy who lived among the shadows and wanted to be alone. I own all the characters in this.
The Boy who lived in the Shadows
There once was a boy who was frail and scared.
Scared for his life which he bared.
Everyone knew he needed help and lend a hand,
but he denied and kept with in his own band.
Even his parents were worried he would die young.
You couldn't blame them, looking at their petrified son.
Nobody knew why he was so scared,
his fright had been so over compared.
Some say he was scared of the world and what was within it,
but other didn't believe that one, even for a minute.
Why was the boy so scared all alone?
He never went out and always stayed home.
He stayed in the shadows like outside was full of badness.
Everything he said, he said it with sadness.
Even loving parents, the boy did not feel loved at all.
They heard him wheeping, they recall.
So one day a man came to see the boy,
the boy was confused without joy.
The man said he could grant him any wish,
maybe like a silver plate or dish.
But the boy backed away
and said "No way!
'Till another day!
Please leave me alone
and go to another zone!"
The man answered, "Are u sure you do not want something?
Are you sure you want nothing?"
The boy shook his head and said, "I wish to be alone!
Now go or else I'll break you're bone!"
The man snapped his fingers and looked stern.
This made the boy's eyes' burn.
The man then said, "It is done
and it has also begun.
You want to be with no one,
now you must face a ton.
You will face 4 days,
and you will have you're wish when the fourth day lays.
Here is a hint of what's coming, on the first day, it will be you're greatest fear.
On the second day, you will shead a tear.
On the third day, it will leave you working like a gear.
And on the fourth day, you wish will be very near."
The man then disappeared into thin air.
The room now made no noise, not even the creak of a chair.
The boy didn't believe the man one bit.
He thought the man was an old git!
So he lay awake all night and his sleepiness was gone,
and he thank to himself, "What was the flip was going on?"
The next morning, he woke with pure fear,
as a spider, he spotted was closely near!
He jumped with a start and started to scream,
and he wished it was only a dream.
He ran for his life, out of his room,
to see that the spider was nothing but a broom.
The next morning seemed perfectly normal or so the boy thought.
But then he found out about the harsh illness his mother had got.
This made him feel bad and began to cry upon her bed.
Now without her, he will now dread.
The next morning, his mother had gotten a little better,
and the day had gotten a little more wetter.
Why did he have to go through this? What did he do?
And as the boy thought harder, he still had no clue.
The questions rang in his head all day and night.
But when morning came, he couldn't wake up quite right.
He dreamed about the neighbors who offered help.
And he saw himself beginning to yelp.
He saw his parents, sad and stressed.
And they left him alone, heading west.
He dreamed of his mother dying of illness,
and so he stiffened into stillness.
He awoke with jolt,
to find a white colt.
The colt said, "This is your fourth day,
please keep down and lay of you want to stay.
Nobody is here for you,
and there is nothing you can do."
Just like that the colt disappeared into thin air,
and in the room gave the boy a great scare.
"I can't believe this is happening," he said with a groan.
He couldn't believe he was truly all alone.
