Darkness

by Wasted Fake Smiles   Nov 1, 2006


Darkness surrounding, chocking in the black,
Can't breathe, it burns, sending shivers up my back.
Smoke filling the air and my lungs, got to leave,
Trying to breathe air through the filter of my sleeve.

Fire burning my skin, continue to run,
Hard to believe earlier I was just having fun.
Light headed and woozy, reaching the front door,
Taking a deep breath, unknowing what's in store.

Where's my family? What about my pets?
Are they safe, or in the fiery deaths?
Call 911, firemen arrive in their big red truck,
Neighbors gathering around, but my family's stuck!

The house is burning! "Hurry!" I shout,
They extinguish it, but now I cry and pout.
My family's gone, the perished in the in smoke,
Where will I do now? In my tears I choke.

All that is left is to find someplace new,
Now that my life has been thrown askew.
All I can do, is just wait in the sun,
For we have no where to run...

    Well it wasnt your best, but i still think you did alright on it. there were some parts where the rhymes seemed kind of.. i dont know, like you could have used some more..mature words for the situation (? i dont know:P) you were talking about. but i do like how you ended it. but the ending line wasnt flowing with the 2nd to last line...other than that, good write

    A very good poem. Very sad. I've never read one about this, so to me at least, it was original. Good job!
