Escaping
Running from disaster
Screams
Why? Do I have to be,
The ‘chosen one’?
Of pain and sorrow,
Of hurt and breaking hearts,
Dreams of darkness
Dreams of pain
How to live
If I can’t die
My hearts broken
In tears of pain,
Even though I escaped
the torture and death
No, there here,
To take me back
to the world
I want to die!
Just leave me be!
I’m alive,
I didn’t chose this life or death
It chose me

I love that last line. Very powerful. This poem reminds me of the video game Tales of Symphonia. The way of fate and the power of choice always gets me thinking.
Best of luck in the contest! -
