Running down the lovely hall
Trying to escape the darkness,
As the dark night starts to fall.
My heart stops, as I hit the dead end,
Closing my eyes and pinches my skin,
Hoping that all of this is just pretend.
In the darkness, I hear the demons of the night come near,
I take a big gulp and tighten my fist,
Feeling my body shake, as my mind fills with fear.
I felt a cold hard hand on my shoulder
I whispered "Goodbye" as I knew my life was now over.

&ldquo;When it&#039;s over, I want to say: all my life<br /> I was a bride married to amazement.<br /> I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. <br /> <br /> When it is over, I don&#039;t want to wonder<br /> if I have made of my life something particular, and real.<br /> I don&#039;t want to find myself sighing and frightened,<br /> or full of argument. <br /> <br /> I don&#039;t want to end up simply having visited this world.&rdquo;

The beautiful thing about writing is that you don&#039;t have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon. ~Robert Cormier
