• I found myself running for hope.
    Crying for an escape,
    a real escape,
    from this crazed world.

    "Help!" I screamed.
    No one answered.
    I feel on the forest ground,
    lost in the woods.
    I curled up in a ball,
    to protect myself,
    to cry for awhile.
    Untill, I heard a scream,
    like mine,
    for help.

    I heard rough footstep
    on the damp soil beneath me.

    A person crashed beside me.
    I glanced at the broken soul.
    He's tears sparkling in the light from the moon.
    I crawled over for a closer look.
    His trembling hands covered his face,
    rejecting me from seeing him in pain.

    Suddenly, I felt my eyes drooping in the darkess.
    I fell asleep
    wondering the world's pain,
    the children's pain,
    much worse than mine.
    Tears ran down my cheek,
    but not for my pathetic sorrow,
    for the others like me.
