Untitled Poem

By Rachelle Ann Ramos
Sept. 20, 2004

I turn my face towards the rain
I feel the gentle pitter patter against my skin
Blood of bloods wash off my body
The metallic taste of it taints my mind

The blood is my own…and it flows freely
I face the rain which has gained harsh force
My eyes turn ruthless obsidian, with no shard of humanity
There are only so many times you could hold a bleed or cry out

But only my humanity is lost
There are some things you only realize when they start to break
My humanity was one of them
I then gained my ruthless merciless ideals of life

Ruthless I spilled blood
Merciless, without any emotion
I've made my own monster
Packed into this fourteen year old body

I stare out into the storm...it's my reflection
Of what I've become the monstrosity of my own undoing
The drops of rain caught in my eyelashes blend with my bloody tears
And the tattered remains of my soul

Some things you just can't get back
Let alone run away from
You can try but only for so long until a breaking point
You can't run form your own shadow...

But your shadow can hunt you down
~enigma

About the author Rachelle Ann Ramos: I'm attempting to be an author, at any age writing a book is an amazing feat. But I bet it's harder when your just a highschool freshmen. I have always dreamed about being an author of an inspiring book in which teenagers can relate to. I certainly hope I can get through this let alone highschool.
