The Shadow I have the same dream every night. But it's not a dream, it's more of a nightmare. In the beginning, everyone who I've witnessed die is alive and happy. We are all laughing and having a great time.. Until the shadow comes. We drop what we are doing, and run. We all link hands and run from the shadow that will take the people we love away from us. As we run outside, I realize we are the only ones left. This world is deserted. The shadow begins catching up to us, and one by one, takes away the people we love. I continue running, the shadow not far behind. Before I know it, I'm the only one left. I keep running but I'm not fast enough. Soon enough, the shadow catches up to me .It's after me. I keep running, but its right behind me as I run. Everywhere I look there it is. And then it surrounds me, closing in on me. I can't breathe. I let out a scream before I'm suffocated by the dark shadows of death.

Tear-stained Cheeks And Tired Eyes I cry myself to sleep, Thinking about that day. The day that I lost you, And the words I didn't get to say. I never thought I would lose you this fast, But I cry myself to sleep remembering the past. I lie here, with tired eyes from no sleep, and from crying, I have tear-stained cheeks. I miss you, I loved you. I didn't tell you. If I did, You wouldn't have flown, So fast and far, Leaving me and my broken heart, all alone..

Whispers I sit in the dark, moonlight streaming through my window. I hear the creaking of floorboards, but I know I'm alone in this house. It always happens when I'm alone. The voices start and the whispers come at me like Mosquitos. I close my eyes and try to get the whispers out of my head, but I'm surrounded. I'm drowning in whispers. I hear my name over and over again, and feel the breath of whoever's saying it. I shut my eyes and pull the covers over my head, like a little girl hiding from a monster. But this monster I've lived with my entire #life. I shut my eyes tight and pray. Pray for all of this to go away. I hear the whispers coming closer, I can't breathe. I gasp for air, hands clutched to my neck. A single tear falls down my cheek, and the wind comes through my open window. All of the sudden, I can breathe again. I let out a scream and then slink down my wall, listening to the silence. I sit there awake for hours, and then finally drift back to sleep.

Baby Brother Playing catch, He's getting better, I throw the ball, And he's the go-getter. But one wrong throw, Towards the street, Sends him running, With tiny feet. He chases the ball, Excitement in his eyes, He runs into the street, And I prepare for goodbye. I yell his name, But it's too late, He looks at me, Then faces his fate. That metal bullet, Stopping fast, But it's too late, The time has passed. He lies #lifeless in the street, Sprawled out on the asphalt, And my knees go weak. I run to him, And scream his name, But he lies #lifeless, For a risky game. I reach for his hand, And what do I see, His tiny fingers wrapped around a present for me, He got the ball, But now it's too late, My whole body fills with hate. I hate myself, I hate this game, I hate the car, That caused this shame. I feel the water down my cheeks, I gasp for air, But I can't breathe. I hold his hand, One last time, His tiny fingers, Enclosed in mine. I scream for Mom, But nothing's heard, I close my eyes, And say three last words. I love you, Baby brother. Now head for the light, And go find mother. Three years pass, I'm full of hate, Alone in this world, With twisted fate. Every little face is his, It tears me apart, Just to see little kids. Oh baby brother, How I miss you so, It's all my fault, I didn't know, That one bad throw would end your #life, And take you faster than a knife. I love you , baby brother, I have one request, Say hi to mother.
