Imagine the damsel.
Imagine the beasts snapping at her heels.
Would she stand to feel the bites, the poison?
No, she would flee.

Flee, sweet damsel, to the rolling meadows.
Peace. Silence. Purgatory.
But still the beasts follow,
Hungry for your blood.

Flee, sweet damsel, to your castle.
Have your guard take arms.
Take arms yourself.
Still, the beasts pursue.

Flee, sweet damsel, to your cell.
Clutch your ears, turn your back.
Listen not to the beasts' roars.
But that does not stop the poison.

Flee, sweet damsel, to the swamp.
Hold your head under the water.
Try and cleanse the poison,
Drown the beasts, escape everything.



















Flee, sweet damsel, to happiness.
For they slew the beasts.
Their single whisper
Silenced the roars.

Flee, sweet damsel, yourself.
For they knew your pain.
Yet you did not know theirs
Had you, sweet damsel, fled them.
Yes, this is just one of the Stream of Consciousness things that I've had written in my Poetry Book (mostly to just use my awesome Fountain Pen). I do this, in the absence of anyone TRULY close to me, just to clear my head. Ergo, it can be very depressing. Read at your peril.

This one goes out to those people that are contemplating suicide because of bullying. DON'T DO IT. Look to that one person that loves you. As long as you have that one person who loves you, that Perfect (Wo)Man, then there will always be that one person who cares if you die.
