A Different Version Of Me

"Shhhh," the little girl whispers,

"I bet you've never seen this."

I look into the darkness.

"Please come back here, Miss"

My heart starts pounding

My ears are ringing

"Hurry," she says quickly.

And then starts singing.

I take one step forwards-

-hearing things crash

I see the girls silhouette

There's something in the trash.

"This dark alley can't be best for you,"

I whisper, barely speaking.

"What did you just say?" She muttered,

And then she started shrieking.

It echoed through the alleyway

It echoed through my heart.

I recognized the voice

But this was just the start.

The girl walked out of the shadows,

Terrifying and young

Covered in blood with tattered clothes -

That to her body clung.

She looked just like someone I know

But her heart was black

She had some bad intentions

Emotions she seemed to lack

I was getting dizzy

But I wish that I could see

That the little girl

Was the opposite, but she was me.

Author's Note

I kinda wanted to tell a story poem. Tell me what you think.

I like this. Good job. It feels like a dream sequence.

I felt it started off stronger than it ended, but still a very good peice. :)

A very interesting story in the poem. There are two sides to all of us. I like your description and good tale. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.
