Poetry Narrative Too scared, I guess
 

Too scared, I guess

Inside of me, there is this place

I never really go in there

Too scared, I guess

 

Some people are trapped in there

I hear them crying all night

Sometimes, they scream in the daylight

I have tried to open that door

With a long 6’ pole

But they never really wana come out

Too scared, I guess

 

Sometimes, I hear a haunting laugh

Burning of skin with a cigarette light

Then, I don’t hear them for a while

It gets really quiet inside

 

Someone is torturing a little child

A grown man is pleading for his life

All this is happening inside of this place

I never really go in there

Too scared, I guess

A good read, a little scary, more so if you didn't add "With a long 6'pole", remove the "never really" in "But they never really want to come out" with just "don't". Only my opinion. Keep writing.
