A Book of Poems

19

I'm walking by

You say hello

Give me a yellow smile

Your greasy hair and baggy clothes

Terrify me

I'm 12 years old

Shaking , scared

I answer

"Hello"

Timidly , Quietly

"Come with me " you say

"I have candy " you say

"No thanks "

I start to walk away , but you grab me

"Come on little girl , I'll turn you into a big girl, let's go to my van "

I'm mortified , I break free

You start to chase me as I run

Panting, crying , screaming

I get home , lock the door

Run up to my room and cry

Praying you won't find me

Thinking to my self

"Get the fuck away from me you disgusting man"

I hide under the blankets, and close my blinds

Praying that I'll never see you by my side

— "I Have Candy"
