Sought Caught
They found me hiding under the stairwell
There were three or four of them,
I couldn’t really tell
They used chloroform to knock me out
They placed it over my nose and mouth
When I came to, my eyes felt like lead
My head pounded and my nose bled
They gagged me and sat me down on a broken wooden chair
They burnt chunks out of my hair
The room was dark, not a drizzle of light
There were too many of them, for me to fight
I couldn’t scream, I tried to shout
No words came out of my mouth
My face was swollen, my lips dry
I could not move and I didn’t know why
Shots were fired in the air
Sounds of scrambling everywhere
They fled the scene as fast as they could
And left me to die in this dangerous neighborhood.
