Raven
Raven by Kaitlin Griel for Among the Dead contest
Death hangs at my side
It lingers knowingly at my feet
It spreads for miles as far as I can see
I tower over the bodies and souls
That lie in the ground beneath me
Trapped in the heavy grasp of death
He’s coming after me now
But I have been running too long
I can’t get away from him
He does not frighten me
But I don’t want him to possess my soul
I want it to fly free like a black raven
I’ll take my own life, a shot in the dark
And hope I make it out of here
Because I am a Raven, waiting to be free
