Cat: I DON'T OWN THEM!! This is a pass around poem that I did in creative
writing class so I want to thank everybody for contributing!!! This is
about Kyo.
Chapter 1: Overcome by Fear
Soft light caged by darkness, smothered, dimmed, beauty hidden, the demon
revealed.
Fall to the ground in pain holding your head, eyes wide, breathing ragged.
Turmoil of absence, the want for acceptance;
To strive for solitude and companionship
He let out an exasperated cry of loneliness and fear
That rattled the brittle leaves clinging to the spindly branches
The voice echoed, then there was silence
There was complete darkness surrounding him.
I can't see him, but I know he's there
The dreadful screams of regrets from the past ring through his head
My heart shudders at the thought of this ache.
The moon glitters through the trees and I hear his footsteps.
As the footsteps draw near, fear hit me, like an ocean wave crushing on the
sand.
What shall I do?
My mind goes blank, as I am consumed in darkness
I reach out for something, anything, but get nothing
I fumble around in the night, following the dimly lit trial which the moon
has set before me.
The light of the moon is powerful
Trapping my eyes into some foreign box.
The light is turned off
No please keep it on!
I'm afraid of the dark!
Please keep the light on, I don't want to be alone in the dark anymore.
Two voices ring out of the pitch darkness.
"She saw me!"
"I don't want to do it anymore!"
Fearful eyes turn up with a soft whisper.
"Let's go home. I want us o go on together."
The darkness fades as the light shines through
Fear is set aside reality excepted, a heart opened to a new world.
End
Cat: Well, what did you think? I wrote the first two lines and Sword, who
is in my creative writing class, wrote the next two. The rest until the
end was written one line at a time by my class! Review please!!
