Time is running out.
What chases me is catching up.
I cannot escape.
I scream for help, but none arrives.
I am alone.
I am afraid.
I am out of time.
A clock ticks in my head.
Faster, faster, faster.
Time speeds up.
Time runs out.
I am out of time.
Posted in response to the challenge Out.
I promise you I care
This I know for sure.
I promise you I’m here
Just maybe not to stay.
I promise you I’m fine
Just in my own way.
I promise you I’m trying
I swear I always have been.
I am a teenager
My life is not simple
I am traumatized and scarred
And doing my best
But it seems like adults can’t see this
All they see is an anxious little girl
Who doesn’t seem to care
If only I’d never met you
If only I had been stronger
If only I had seen sooner
Just how abusive you are
If only I hadn’t let you
Turn my life to ruin
If only I hadn’t tried
