Rest in Peace

Akkiko



Sickly pain rains through me.

"Make me alone!

I don't want to hurt anymore!"

The monster he runs at me.

His teeth are bared.

His fur is bristling.

Death is where I am.

In that dark place we all run from.

But I am not alone.

People gray and sad surround me.

Clothes of black and handkerchiefs of white,

Tears falling on the ground.

"The dear child,

Taking her life was her only escape."

A sob breaks loose, my mother cries.

The coffin is black,

In it lay a girl I once knew.

People said she was me.

How was it so?

Here I stood!

Here I was!

"I am here!

I am alive!

I am standing right here!"

Another sob breaks the air

As they lower me into the ground.

Then a white hand stretches up through the wood.

Soil crumbles and breaks.

Black blood floods the hole where I lay.

Dirt covers it over.

"Rest in peace,

A kind a sweet girl."

Doomed forever I am.

How will I prove that I still live?

A weird little piece wasn't it? It's from a dream. I know the poem doesn't really flow or rhyme, but I think it's alright. Let me know what you think!
