Uncaring clouds drifting easily
over a broken plain.
Sun basking reflectively in its own glow,
Trees relax, gently swaying in the breeze,
Birds soar freely, enjoying their freedom.
Grass grows patiently, inexorable and all encompassing.
Rocky outcrops triumphantly state dominance over the flat uninterrupted horizon,
A book lies prostate in the shade of the fatherly old oak tree,
No words mark the pristine pages which look up mysteriously at the bright blue sky.
A child lies sleeping, curled in maternal comfort,
An unused quill clasped tightly in tiny fingers.
Love beams forth from proud parental eyes
as they look down upon the sle
In the dead of night, anything could happen.
There are snakes, tigers, sharks, and wolves that run in packs.
In the dead of night, you can so very easily get swallowed up.
In black vans,
In rabbit-holes that run under the streets,
And by staring at the big, round Moon for too long.
In the dead of night, it would be best to stay away.
To hide from the nocturnal predators that wait under your bed.
But you can't hide from it!
It's useless to try!
Because, like it or not,
It will come!
And will consume you before the Sun takes away it's stage, and the curtains close for day....
The thing she fears the most by Coryianna, literature
Literature
The thing she fears the most
She lays in her bed
Uncertain
Hands covering her eyes
Like a curtain
Trying to protect herself
From the thing she fears the most
Shaking her head
She does not want to see
Turning to the wall
Away from responsibility
Trying to protect herself
From the thing she fears the most
Crossing her arms
Afraid
Knowing it is almost time
By her years she is betrayed
While trying to protect herself
From the thing she fears the most
Weeping in silence
For what is on its way
Cowering in darkness
For she knows she must obey
While trying to protect herself
From the thing she fears the most
Trembling she arises
All shook up
For th
Weighing on my heart
Uncertainty
Pressing down on my soul
I cant see
Worried of what will be
I dont know
I'm closing my eyes
Wishing for the day to never end
Not looking forward to
Whats coming 'round the bend
Scared of reaching a dead end
I dont know
I dont want to grow up
I just want to crawl into bed
I'm terrified, nervous of what lies ahead
I dont want to grow old
What happened to the days
Where someone else took care of it all
I'm not ready
To be older
I'm not ready
Jumping out at me
Responsibility
Falling all around
Independence, chasing me
Hear my pleas
I dont know
I dont want to grow up
I just want to cra
I wake up every morning
Wondering what the new day will bring
Sometimes, things are wonderfully bright
And other times, there's suffering
I guess I must think like a child
For I do not understand why
People can dance, sing and rejoice
While others sit alone and cry
Bad things happen all the time
But why must they even exist?
Can't everyone get along together?
Why do some people have to resist?
At night, there are times
That I look at the sky
And think about all that has taken place
The pain that some people are forced every day to face
It's a world of pain
It's a world of tears
It's a world of sorrow mixed up with fears
All
Leaving, you smile and wave
Only when alone, do I let the mask fall
Not to let you know the longing I feel
Even though I know you will be back
Lonely, I wait out the long day for
Your return, and the happiness you bring me.
