I Will Escape.......................................................................................
Chapter 1
It was dark outside,
I watched as the moon shone its brightest through to me,
watching over me ,
the only peace I get in this house of hell.
I could hear shuffling down stairs
shuffling and stamping and stomping and breaking,
shuffling and stamping and stomping and breaking,
all night every night...
They never stop they never sleep,
no peace for the wicked and no peace for me,
id heard the somewhere when I was a child,
I don’t know when, it seemed so long ago,
I sighed like a dramatic teenager not getting their way
and rolled as far sideways as possible with my left arm braced to the bed handle.
One of them would be coming soon,
with the moon so high and bright it could only be midnight
and that was when the monsters came out of the closet,
shuffling and stamping and stomping and breaking,
shuffling and stamping and stomping and breaking.
BANG-BANG
downstairs
so much energy for such a little space
they never really settled or grew up
they were just little brats inside,these monsters of mine,
my monsters
every child has a monster of their own,
whether their under the bed,
outside in a tree,
downstairs or in the cupboard to your left…
it doesn’t matter where but you know their there
. STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP,
up the stairs from which they came
taunting me with the knowledge that they are coming.
I rolled my body the opposite direction face to face to the wall,
I could feel myself tensing,
my body tensing for the final blows.
STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP,
closer and closer, louder and louder
