I was walking into the neighborhood,

Roads of the dark night,

Minding my own business and walking my merry way,

But that came to an end when I saw man in my sight

As I shouted out a worried “hey”.

He didn’t respond so I ignored and just walked away,

I tried to move away but he kept on swaying in my direction ,

I realized something was wrong,

When he pulled out a big sharp blade,

My eyes widened, and stood I still like a coward.

He was running my way  and I had to react,

I felt the surge of energy rush through my body for a counteract,

And I turned around and ran away from the crazy maniac,

It wouldn’t end here I said I couldn’t turn back.

So I ran through the perilous night for my life,

Like a cheetah trying to catch his meal of the day,

Only this time,

I’m the meal running from the predator,

The predator, which was the man with the big knife.

I saw a dark area with a shed that could help me hide,

I quickly leaped it's fence and ran to the darkness,

No brightness, no light, just pitch black from the inside and out,

For this man couldn’t catch me, as I was blended in with the darkness,

And he set aside and walked away.

I decided to go back home and stay there,

It was dangerous to stay out and I couldn’t bear,

The man was gone this time,

But his attempted crime would not escape my mind,

For I had almost lost my life to a psychopathic type.
