So I generally don't write poetry, but I had to write a poem

for American History last semester. So I wrote one about Reid.


Oh the poor child

His pain never mild.

He's always in trouble

Though he tries never to meddle.

His pain always great

His genius mind in a state.

Confusion and fear

And betrayal is here.

His heart fills with fear

And nightly with terror.

As horror after horror

Runs through it's filter.

Shot in a cornfield

Dragged out by his hair.

Taken to a barn

He nearly died there.

Beaten and bruised

He gave them the clues.

Word after word

But only one understood

One understood

And cracked it in time.

To save a life

And bring their youngest home alive.

Two years later

He's nearly been healed.

They fly to New York

To find a serial killer.

They don't know who's next

So they take to the streets.

They don't know who's next

Till one goes up in heat

They don't know why

Only that they may die.

They don't know who

But it could be you.

Was the child the target?

Will he die again?

They've lost him already

Can they lose him again?

Now they don't know

They only can fear.

Will again they loose someone

That they hold dear?

They waited and waited

In deep agony.

There hearts in there throats

Which friend may now leave?

He's alright now

Only shaken and scared.

He's alright now

No longer afraid.

No longer alone

His family is near

He's got a circle of friends

And each he holds dear.
