Stolen

I was only three

When the monsters took me

 

Three

Years

Old

 

All twenty of them

Stole me

 

But I don't know if you would call it that

When your mother

Lets them take you

 

You think I would start to like it here

After

Fourteen years

But in these

Fourteen years

I've grown to hate it

I've grown to hate everything

 

Even my mother

This is kind of scary. It got me thinking about whether the monsters were literal or representations of something else. I'm not sure which would be more disturbing. But either way, this is interesting. Just a quick tip - take out the apostrophe in "Let's." Good work!

Thank you!

Excuse this comment, but why take out the apostrophe?

[AliciaB]

No problem! "Let's" with an apostrophe is a contraction for "let us" (i.e., "Let's go.") "Lets" without an apostrophe means "allows," which is how the word is used in this context.

Sorry for interfering it has to be let without the apostrophe and s because there is already a pronoun following let: let them.
Let's=Let us

[Marcus Sergiu David]

Oh, now I see it. Don't know why I thought "let us" was correct there. Guess I'm just hurried and tired. Thanks for answering.

This is really sad..A mother is the only person you can trust blindly.Family is very important, but when your own family betrays you, you can't trust or love anyone in life.

One choice made by a mother can change the rest of her child's life. Love this, it really makes you wonder why! Great work :)

Thanks Amber!!

I love the flow and format of this. I have a similar poem to this. The message of this is strong that we sometimes become a monster or others do that.

Thank you!!

This poem is intriguing and vague enough to let the reader fill in the blanks.
