Dedicated to Corvinna, she was the one who gave me a push in a direction (she may not be aware) towards poetry. :) I found that I do like it, so thanks girl!! ( please note that this is my first time writing poetry, so if I make a error tell me. Also my first time writing something in Raven's P.O.V. Enjoy!


I was terrified and I couldn't see

there was a bang and then a scream

I hid in the closet and there I stay

waiting for the moment to pass and the screams to go away

My name is Raven

and I'm in the dark

I get whipped and burned with a hot charcoal spark

"Help me!" I scream.

I'm terrified, I'm steamed.

I don't want to hurt anymore, it's just not right!

To be left alone and scared, while my parents fight!


My eyes widen at the sudden silence

I stare at the door as if I'm in some sort of trance...

Footsteps could be heard

and I sigh of releif

but then gasp again as I crack open the door

There lay my mom bleeding dead on the floor!


My name is Raven

and I from then became mute

to shut everyone out, incuding my group

No longer to smile, though I rarely did

My life has fallen while I slowly slide.


There you go my first poem. I so proved you wrong I am no good at it as you can tell. Sad, I know I just wanted to write out my depression ( no I'm not abused) Also too short. Thanks for reading and if you think it was worth reviewing, go at it. now let me hang my head in shame for posting this ;P
