Seconds passes on,
tension grows stronger,
blood flowing faster,
heartbeat rises high,
Eyes search for answers.

Clouded by thoughts;
fear and anger
pumping inside.
The world clears out.

Tears clawing;
life long guard,
almost down.

Only
one thought;

In gardens and streets
A meal of litter

A home is there
All clothes are worn
Love is alive
School-friends hunting

Accomplished
Strong technique
