Trapped, scared, wary
Trapped, Scared, Wary A dimly lighted room, A boy with no way out, Heavy metal locks on the polished brown doors, An abandoned clock ticking away, Counting hours, minutes, seconds, Before the predator awakes.

A Wary Woman
I’d love to say that ‘Crusher’ Webb is one good mate of mine, but old ‘Crusher’s’ temperamental and can act more like a swine, and it don’t take much to set him off; that’s when we all show fear, so we don’t know how to take him, ‘specially when he’s on the beer. I’ve been there when he’s...

Premium Member The Wary Cat and the Hungry Dog
The cat eyed the dog, warily The dog licked his lips, hungrily The cat backed away, tremulously The dog edged forward, intimidatingly The cat retreated faster, alarmedly The dog zeroed in on her, aggressively The cat let out a screech, panic-strickenly The dog leaped for her throat, murderously Let's pause this...

Battle Wary
I can't stay here... nightmares, eating me alive. Living jar, full of demons. Humanity can't possibly survive. Finding interactions painful, pushing me to hide. I cry often now. I can't hold anymore inside. Craving beauty, I just want to live in art. Where did the destroyer go? Did my protective layer depart? True strength found in weakness, I no longer need my pride. A view angry and narrow continues growing...
