Description
The branches are reaching out,
grabbing me,
pulling me in.

Try to get a hold of my naked body,
as I'm running, silently,
further away.

I can hear them calling my name,
screaming out in anger,
but for that, it's all in vain.

I'm too far way,
and I'm running faster and faster,
and they can't keep up.

The swollen branches steal me away,
hide me, comfort me.
Hiding the tears runing down my cheeks.

I stop, and I crouch,
resting underneath a huge willow tree.
Keeping my ears alert to the stomping of their feet.

I hear them close, and my breathing stops.
The coldness of my nakedness,
alerting me from deep within.

They whisper to each other,
and I hear them sigh.
Gone within moments, as I continued to hide.

I got away this time,
next time will be worse.
I creep away into the darkness, my soul is still mine.
