The Freak Show (4)

She is not cruel,
She is not bad.
You battered fool,
You'll make her mad.1

Strength of ten,
Strong and driven,
Million men.
Sins forgiven.2

She is unequal,
To your gaizing eyes.
Witness her sequal,
Of time's demise.3

With such brawn,
Why not take action?
You my pawn,
You're the main distraction.4

You will walk by,
Laugh and praise.
She is not shy,
Of you're demented gaze.5

Grasp upon your neck,
Feast on the jugular.
Lay in grusome wreck,
Life left in a breath.6

Scream and fear,
The corruption walks.
Your end is near,
Yet you still flummox.7

Can't you see,
You're the freak.
Why are you free,
Putrid and bleak.8

While we're caged,
Locked like evil,
Until we've aged,
Thrown to your upheaval.9

The girl escapes,
To the light of day.
Her last sight shapes,
And she fades away.10

Her last sight,
Humans traveling.
Her last fight,
Ends unraveling.11

No one leaves,
She's known that long ago.
Unjust thieves,
Own this tarnish of a Freak Show.

Author notes

Everything goes as plan,
The freaks are weak,
And you my fan,
Make them Shriek.

    Interesting

    This wasn't really intended as a poetry contest. Although there are occasionally poetry contests at Storywrite, this one isn't.

    As a member of Storywrite, you are also a member of Allpoetry. To get to the sister site, go to the 'Poetry' link at the bottom of the page.

    The rhyme and rhythm of this poem are good. I enjoyed it. Do you write many poems?

    Thanks for entering WANTED!!! Monsters, Demons, and Villains.

      Thanks, and...

      No, I don't write a lot of Poetry. And I actually started out on AllPoetry, but was more of a story writer than poet, so I moved to StoryWrite. All my poems are like stories, in that they tell a story, or try to tell one. They're just in a different format. People write in different ways, and I felt this story was best told this way. Plus, I like to keep it all on one site, and SW has captured my interest.

    YOu know this is really well written. For being as it is, it is so easy to see the story behind your words.
