"Speak"

Stereos blasted screaming words of chaos and destruction
While people cried drunken fantasies
     && stumbled and jumped in a form they call dancing
I shoved my way through the crowd
  /Girls rumors
  & boys sweet lies
buzzing in my ears
Like little bumble bees; annoying and obnoxious

The can of beer I held fell from my hand as someone outside bumped into me
He quickly spun around and I caught the bitter sweet scent of liquor mixed with cologne
Before I knew what was happening, his arms wrapped around my waist
And my body was crushed against his chest
But it felt nice
And comforting
And we started dancing to the beat of the music
He led me out by the pine trees and all I could think about was Christmas
His words whispered in my ear, speaking of beauty and love
And all I could feel was my heart pounding in my chest
As he climbed on top of me
I tried to say no but all I could do was choke on the tears sliding down my throat
He ground his hips against my body
Tainting my now nonexistent innocence
& When he finally left
All I could see was him
And how he smiled at me;
cold and sattisfied,
As he zipped the fly of his jeans
He was a wolf
Preying on girls four years younger who didn't know any better
Preying on those who are drugged with confusion
And drunk on lies
Preying on girls...

    ohhh wow
    this is wonderful
    it definitely does justice to the book
    captures something really painful but makes it beautiful all the same.
    the imagery about the wolf, the predator, stealing innocence.. so powerful.
    i love

    I loved that book and I totally saw everything through you poem. It was so perfect. And I liked it better then how it was written in the book. This style was powerful and even more descripted. I could feel everything, I saw everything. Get imagery.
