How poetic can you be? Write a short poem about what you see

Well done, Jackie

I'm a lost soul

Walking a lonely road

Trying to escape the demons of my past

But they haunt me, their always in my vision, on my mind

Shoulders hunched I walk away

Trying to think of a way to keep them at bay

They hold their hands out firm, eyes wide

Determination to keep me tethered to their side

So for now I continue to walk the road, a lost lonely, desperate soul

Good one, Donald.

Trapped in an endless time as a prisoner I am held,

The breath from my body slight in this land I dwell.

I gasp for air. I beg him to release his hold,

Against the invisible barrier ancient; old.

I walk and walk but I return to where I had been,

A circle endless, appearing again and again.

I think he laughs as he leans against the unseeable window,

"Help me, please help me," My screams die, but my tears flow.

Walking through the woods one night

I saw something that gave me a fright

Could not believe what was ahead of me

Something so evil you rarely see

Was it a ghostly demon that I saw

Nope, just my scary sister-in-law

we all have our demons

yet few

greet them

sober

with balled fists

at least

that’s what i think

happened
