Mackenzie Writes

 Slam Poem Artwork is unknown Poet - Kenzie

darkness consumes my sight only a sliver of light shines through the crack of a door that glides like a boat on the ocean. flesh vibrating, shivering of fear, maybe of cold mostly. the air blankets my skin  wraps around me as i curl my knees to my chest, like a sea dragon silently waiting and clothes like seaweed dangling around me. footsteps coming coming down the hall. heavy breathing like a sharks theme song he's hunting for me. I hold my breath as silent as a fish floating in space and time begging for the storm to pass. waiting to be found waiting  waiting for the shark to leave. waiting for the shark to pass. hoping the shark does not smell my sweet.. sweet peaches hang from the tree outside,  I can see them through the crack and a shadow closes that sliver of light. my head peers up. the sharks haunting eye peers through  where my sliver of hope used to shine.
