Awful Darkness 2005

In the awful darkness

All wrapped in a blanket of black

Lies a small boy

Sinking into despair

As the clock strikes twelve

And in the darkness

Thump thump thump

D

O

W

N

The dark, slimy, slippery staircase

Someone came!

Was it for freedom?

But no

Only grumpy guard

Then again

Bang bang bang

D

O

W

N

The dark, slimy, slippery staircase

Someone came!

Did this mean out?

But no

Only babbling cook in crutches

Staring at the wall

Dark eyes unblinking

Watching as big spider

Taught little spider how to spin a web

As a tear slid down his cheek

He thought about the thing he had done

That got him here

In this awful creepy place

All he did was

Steal and apple core for his poor family

But now he was in a dungeon

All alone

And as he stared around his cell

He knew nothing could get worse that this(feeling of abandonment)

But he was wrong

Something could get worse than this

And that was the

Life Prison

Stamp

For stealing

An apple core
