My car broke down in the middle of the woods

I was not prepared so I had no goods

The sun is burning on this hot, summer day

I see a stranger across the way

He peers at me with his long, stinging glare

And I think, does he hate me or does he care

I cannot believe what I see in his hand

I think, am I a coward or am I a man

I run away as fast as the wind

But hearing his voice

Made me lose it

I couldn’t rhyme

Or think of a way out

He catches up I start losing my breath

Only to find he has a helpful wrench in his hand

He finds the problem within my car

And fixes it with ease

Now I know you can still be scared

But if they really care

You shouldn’t be scared

You should face your fears and let them hear

As I watch my classmates present well before me

I hear the teacher speak YOUR UP!

All pain only just starts

As I get get up there

All I can see is my classmates staring straight at me

Thousands of eyes stare as they shoot fireballs directly at my body

As I get further and further into my presentation I hear whispers from my peers

me expecting the worst I panic and start to sweat

this panic attack is like a poison in my mouth killing me

putting me in a void

A void of fear with no courage in site

as I go further and further into this void I start to smell smoke

It was smoke coming from my heart from the burning pain in my chest

further and further I go now I’m sweating so much its weight is pulling me down

I burn and burn until it’s over

by that point the fire fighters are pulling me from this void and putting out this fire

after I cool down I wake up as if nothing had happened but still

Still I feel that I have been traumatized

it doesn’t change that I’m just preparing for another attack

When all I’m thinking about is the end

But then I begin to think is there really an end to this

as I run it through my head I thought

Down the stairs I go
Alone in darkness
With a candle in hand
With it’s stone walls
And it’s stone stairs

Down the stairs I go
Hand on the wall
Damp and mossy
Supporting me
On my way down

Down the stairs I go
Other than footsteps
Is dripping of water
Splashing down on my head
Extinguishing my candle

Down the stairs I go
Alone in darkness
With my candle
That no longer emits light
On an endless flight of stairs

Alone in the dark
With light gone
With a cold taste in my mouth
Placing my candle
Onto the damp stone stairs

Down the stairs I go
Alone in darkness
Stumbling on a step
Falling down fast
Down many steps

As I got back up
And continued my way
I seem to be in place
As if stairs were moving
And not me

Then I turned around
Looking behind me
I see some bright light
And I finally realize
It was my imagination

The Ocean

So strong and so powerful

Pulling you away

So  evil it will deceive you

changing your life forever

Take you away

To a better place

The ocean

So powerful

So deep

so dangerous

so harmful

Filled with animals that could make you disappear

Forever

The waves take you farther and farther

Away from life

so strong they take your breath away

with your life

You hear the kids screaming

You jump in and try to help

But it’s too strong

too dangerous

The ocean
