Shadows

Summer grass swaying in the wind.
A small child's cry floating in the breeze.
Can anyone hear me?
My tormented screams pierce the silent night.
Help me! Help!
Begs a voice from deep inside.
The forest guards my secrets.
Dark, damp and surrounding me.
It won't let you hear my screams.
But still cling tight to that string of hope.
That someday someone will save me.
Even if it means I have to overcome the
shadows placed deep inside me.
