The rain is
Falling hard
I squint my eyes
To see in the dark
And through the hail
Two or three
People are
Approaching me
I turn around
To walk away
I don’t want
To fall prey
Or be thrown
Into the fray
Of men like them
Who always play
With people who can’t
Fight back
But I promise
If they attack
I won’t fall
Down
Like a princess
In a gown
Who can barely
Hold her own crown
I seem them as they
Come close
It starts raining harder
The wind blows
Lightning splits
The grey sky
I see their faces
For the first time
No more words
Can describe
How hard
I really tried
To get free
And escape
The bringers
Of my fate
