A Dream's Reality
A Poem About Internal Demons
Into the darkness
She went without fear
To the demons and zombies
With whom she longed to be near
They called and she came
And she went without care
There was nothing left in her heart
She had no feelings to bear
The calls became louder
The pulls became stronger
But she did not resist
As they began to surround her
They tore at her flesh
They fed from her soul
And as they tore at her dress
She began to feel cold
Her body went numb
Her head started to spin
Her mind told her to run
But everything was too dim
She slowly gave into the darkness
And she was to no longer be known
As she welcomed the darkness
She began to wish she were home
It began to grow silent
She was trapped all alone
No one knows where she went
She would never come home
Now she’s trapped for eternity
Full of guilt and shame
Hoping for a miracle
But none ever came.

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
