She awakes
and sees the man within
she can't believe
it's really happening again
she sees his knife
and he imitates what he wants to do
she runs downstairs
to her this is nothing new
she wakes every time
knowing she will die
every day just seems to repeat itself
and all she can do is wonder why
it all happened
when her friend died
and now she constantly
dreams of deaths and suicides
sometimes she wakes
and she's got a bag over her head
then other times
she's actually beheaded
then others she'll cut her herself
real deep
that is when
she wakes from her sleep
or she'll take poison
and slip away in the night
or be hung
in a noose real tight
every time it seems like a dream
,but she's learned by now
that this is painfully her reality
for all eternity
sometimes the dreams seem so real
that there is no escape
she never gets a weapon
it's like her inevitable fate
she is destined to die
every choose she makes
will end in tragedy
because she's in a horror movie
Author notes
A person never being able to change their fate when they know they are going to die or when they know someone else is going to die I think would be really scary. Like knowing one of your family members would die the next day in a car accident, so you try to keep them in the house with you all day, but then a car wrecks right into your living room and kills them. Ironic, yes, but it is their fate to die. I hope I gave you a better story than the ones you were getting.

This is really good to and like you i too think that knowing the fate of somebody and not being abe to change it is really scary. i like how your poem is more of the thought of something being scary and not actually talking about someone dieing right there. Good luck in the contest.

Oh wow! Out of all the poems in this contest I've read so far, this really is one of the best! I love it! Even though it's day-time here, it has given me a slight chill down my spine. My favorite stanza was:
"sometimes she wakes
and she's got a bag over her head
then other times
she's actaully beheaded"
But one slight thing. GRAMMAR! It was the only thing distracting me.
Nice write!

WOW!!!!!
Man this pays homage to every Horror flick I have ever seen, in your notes it kinda has a ring to Final Destination to it, you know this is whats gonna happen, and you try to fix it, so Butterfly effect in a way. Brilliant, and good luck in the contest
