I scream out in fright
and climb up a tree,
no one responds,
least none who'll help me.
The snarling and snapping
seems right at my feet,
though I manage, just barely,
to climb out of reach.
I find a safe perch,
skin rough and bloody,
as monstrous creatures
lust after my body.
I'm safe for a bit,
though I seem to be stuck,
my clever escape
turned out to bad luck.
There is no way down,
no escape in sight.
Waiting them out,
the only answer to my plight.
My eyes start to droop
much later that night,
my body exhausted
from terrified flight.
I fight it off hard
and slap my own face,
as flea ridden creatures
laugh at my mistake.
I see it as well
as my mother greets me,
she can't be here,
I must be asleep.
I jolt back awake
as I feel myself fall,
but the branch might as well
be down a long hall.
I hit the ground hard,
both ankles just snap,
the least of my problems,
cause now I'm a snack.
What's attacking him/her?
