The castle is your home The place where you can hide The place where you can rule No one tells you what to do You are the princess here Don't take it too far though It's only your dream You don't want to get lost

I'm dying Disappearing Fading into the black Won't you save me From going there again? The darkness will take over I will come back again Different from the one you knew I don't want this So please Save me

A couple hundred years ago demons got loose on this planet. More like we were allowed to leave if we agreed to wreak havoc on the humans and slowly destroy their race. Of course I'm not one of those that likes the destroying of people so I mostly just sit back and secretly work with the other side to send the demons back. That's what got me here along with all or most of the other demons. A witch trapped us all in the ground. We have been this way for hundreds of years just waiting to get out. Mostly the bad ones but I wanted to get out to protect the witch's kin because she probably has the same abilities and the evil guys will be after her to destroy her. I move my head around, knocking down dirt as I do. I'm trying to find a way to at least get a hand or something free but everytime I try to do something the chains get tighter and they burn my skin even more. Maybe if I struggle enough, the chains will burn me enough to get a really good painful scream and see if anyone hears me. I struggle more, the chains get hotter and hotter; then, I start feeling the pain, but still not enough to make me scream. It had reached this temperature long ago, to where it was literally melting my skin, but it'll grow back so I am not worried. Finally, after struggling for about 2 hours, I started to feel the scream worthy pain set in and I screamed like crazy because of the burning pains; I was almost on fire. The tingling sensation of the burns went deep through my skin and pores, making it even harder to remain silent. I stopped struggling and I began to lay down and take deep breaths to get rid of the pain, and I can hear footsteps on the ground above me. "Hello?" I hear a girls voice say. "Is someone there?" I could hear that she was out of breath, most likely because she probably ran all the way here hearing my scream of pain. But the real question was; how can she hear me? "Yes, I'm here." I say. She probably can't hear me but it's worth a try. I can hear movement and then I hear the sound of a shovel digging into the ground close to my head. "I'll set you free. Don't worry. I'll let you be free. You're a nice one." She says. Then, the chains snap off as if those were the magic words. That means that this girl is the witch's great granddaughter. I quickly push through the surface and look up into the face of a high school aged girl. "Are you hurt?" She asks, a look of concern crossing her face. I smile and give a small smerk to her. I stand up and stretch and look around and everything is different. I guess I should have been expecting that since I've been underground for a couple centuries. "Miss? Could you tell me the year, month, day, time and what city I am in?" I ask. She looks at me and then down at her watch. "It's 2014, April 17, 7 pm and you are in Roanoke, Virginia. The same place you've been for god knows how long." She says. I nod. "It was nice meeting you." I say. I walk off into the forest to go and explore this new world that I had come into. I shouldn't have been surprise that it had changed so much but when I walked out and saw huge buildings and cars and lamp posts and all of that, I just wanted to crawl back in my hole.

There's no excuse For bullying You can't make it okay There's nothing you can say To take away any of the pain Don't cut people slack Because they hate themselves If they hate themselves They should express it in some other way Not take it out on some other kid A kid who probably doesn't have a good home #life either Just makes it worse for them to go home Thinking the world hates them Thinking they are better off dead There's no excuse

#life is like a game At the end there's a reward Are you strong enough to play In this twisted world?
