Vulnerable

Shadows circle around me
Hungry eyes stalk my sounds
Desperate pleas as I struggle and squirm
to break free without falling down
I forget to look up and slip into the deep
into a death trap of three
Sharp smiles, slimy charms target my heart
right before they rip into me
The pain is intolerable
being unprotected bait
hanging from a hook and string
Feeling completely vulnerable
dreaming of ways to escape
this dark and dangerous scene
