Kari's Drabbles

Taken

  Don't look them in the eye,
If you do, they'll tear you out of the sky,
They tell you to try, try, try,
They say they've been through it,
That they've been dragged through the pits,
They say they've been on the list,
But they can't stop the tears,
Or chase away the fears,
Even after all these years,
I wish they'd let me be,
But If I try to hide the key,
I know they'll always find me,
There's no trap doors,
Or holes in the floors,
Or escaping through the corridors,
Just empty whispers and voices,
They've all made their choices,
Now it's time to make mine,
I promise I'll be fine,
But in time,
I know in my heart,
I beg for a new start,
But I'm not that smart,
And they remind me of that,
Let's look at the stats,
I might as well be wearing a dunce hat,
I don't want to stay,
But they've taken everything away,
And now my life has gone astray.
