Fear

A Poem by Megha

I was walking alone
In a deserted area prone
Dark in night
My feelings in fright!

Rushing towards home
Just felt I am not alone
Some footsteps following me
I just wanted to be free!

Rushing fast in track
Hiding my tears in sack
Suddenly, a car arrived
The persons behind me tried
To capture me in their car
And take me really far!

After a while my eyes opened in bed
Thinking it could be a nightmare bad
But then realised that I am not in my house
Hearing the laugh coming from out
Made me scared and afraid
Thinking of demons that I faced!

Suddenly someone opened the door
I was sitting on bed all alone
Wanted to run and reach my home
Somebody save me from demon!

My heartbeat I could hear
My body was shivering
It made me burst into tear
But nobody cared!

The person reached very close to me
I just wanted to be free
Mumma! Mumma! I yelled inside
Having so much fear I just cried!

I was shouting for help
But i was in a trap
My body I couldn't feel
My fear I couldn't reveal!

I don't know whether I am alive
Coz inside I have died
Was taken back by car
Thrown on road where i was
Rescued by people
From where I was thrown
Now i reached back to home!

People say that I am safe
Only I know I live in grave
My life is destroyed
And I am half dead and half alive!
