I Flee

By maggot death

She guards me
She feeds me
She believes in me

I let her.

She needs me
I trust her
She wants me to stay

But I flee.

I flee from her.

Like the wind,
The...smoothe wind
Passing straight through you

cutting

Passing through your body

slitting

sharply through the world
And going on forever

I flee.

I flee to somewhere better,
somewhere more calm
more reassuring
more respectful
more understanding.....



When my mother competes
against my father
the overall choice
is mine.....


Should I flee with my father? Or stay here, with my mother?

I wrote this in reading class today....actually goes deeper into myself than previousely thought....And, this poem is pretty much absolutely true. A decision needs to be made....and it's up to me to make it

    That's pretty heavy. I can't imagine making a decision like that would be very easy. Being in a position to choose can't be either. A tough choice, I wish you luck. Thank you for sharing.

    Sounds like you've already made your decision, now you just have to be the one to tell your mother, good luck with your new experiences you get while with your father, and it was a rather good write as well
