Scream

Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away
Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away

Run down the corridors
Run and hide away
Run around the corner
There is no other way

Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away
Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away

You find the door it locked
You can't find a way in
You look around and panic
You start to give in

Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away
Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away

It rounds the corner
Red eyes and mad
You wish you had never
Given in and had...

Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away
Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away

Bought the house
Bought the lot
Bought the town
Put the key in the lock

Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away
Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away

Opened to your doom
Found that inside
Something was sleeping
Something to hide

Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away
Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away

You found it in the basement
All under the floor boards
Curled up and sleeping
Huddled on all fours

Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away
Scream and run away now
Scream scream and run away

It opened it's eyes
You screamed and began to run
It followed you slowly
Otherwise it wouldn't be fun

Scream... and run away

nice use of repition, but i kind of got bored by reading the same thing over and over again, but that could be the short attention span talking.

Wow nice imagery. This seemed very strong and powerful. The whole time I was reading it I could picture what was happening well done.

I think this is defintely more suited to being a song than a poem, the repetition works very well to add impact - but again this is more a song tecnhique than poetry. I like what you've done her but if you want to get it out into the wild I'd say send this to Slipknot not to a poetry competition!

I was thinking this was really a song even before I read Libby's review. Very fun.

and interesting.

This would make a great Holloween song! Although I get the feeling, that the kids might not like it too much

I liked the repetition. I usually don't as the repetition can be distracting or boring, but in this case, it added a lot of force to your work. I think this would work much more as a song than a poem. Just my humble opinion.

what are you screaming and running away from was this a Angery poem i have to ask? kinda made me Dizzy. not a fan of repition Poems may just be the screaming part wasnt that scary to me i love it to be more on the Edge of your seat if its Scary or Creepy. your saying same thing over and over again same thing that takes away the Joy of a poem. But nice try anywho.
