You're Sonic
by Kyla Jo Ann Parras
(Hamilton County IL)
Soft spoken words
Struggle deep within
Screaming with no way out
No steps of stairs
Just complete darkness
Clawing, screaming
But only silence in return
There is no way out
Something has a tight grip
You step forward
No movement
Not an inch
Struggling you fight back
All the tears streaming down
You move faster with more strength
Still tied down, still stuck
You need out, you want out
This battle never seems to end
You try until you can’t move
Day after day your strength weakens
Finally you give up
Because there is no point in trying now
Your leave your life and never come back
Good-bye lonely struggle
For you have fallen in love
