UPDATE: not one person entered, so I'm reopening this. Come on, it's a great chorus, try it 
---
Don't turn away
(Don't give into the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never Sleep, Never Die)
Whisper - Evanescence
This chorus, particularly the 5th and 6th line, has always stuck with me, and I can really relate to it. Now I want to see your reaction.
No poems
No bashing
Other than that, it's free reign. I'm not setting a wordcount, and I'll even allow erotica! But if that's what you enter, it must be relevant to the chorus.
Please note, when people write a story or poem 'prompted' from songs, they usually end up including some of the lyrics, word for word, within the work. Often, that is very tacky, and a huge pet hate of mine. If you think you can pull it off go ahead, but if it's tacky, you're out

A reaction to the song? Like a story inspired by the song or just a story similar to the song or where a character in the story can relate to the lyrics?

anything you want really. just be inspired by the lyrics. if they inspire to you write a similar story, go for it. if they inspire you to write something the character can relate to the lyrics, go for it, if they insipire something differant completely, go for it lol
just be prompted by it
