Stolen

I was only three

When the monsters took me

 

Three

Years

Old

 

All twenty of them

Stole me

 

But I don't know if you would call it that

When your mother

Lets them take you

 

You think I would start to like it here

After

Fourteen years

But in these

Fourteen years

I've grown to hate it

I've grown to hate everything

 

Even my mother

This is kind of scary. It got me thinking about whether the monsters were literal or representations of something else. I'm not sure which would be more disturbing. But either way, this is interesting. Just a quick tip - take out the apostrophe in "Let's." Good work!

[Emily]

Thank you!

[Marcus Sergiu David]

Excuse this comment, but why take out the apostrophe?

[AliciaB]

No problem! "Let's" with an apostrophe is a contraction for "let us" (i.e., "Let's go.") "Lets" without an apostrophe means "allows," which is how the word is used in this context.

Sorry for interfering it has to be let without the apostrophe and s because there is already a pronoun following let: let them.
Let's=Let us

[Marcus Sergiu David]

Oh, now I see it. Don't know why I thought "let us" was correct there. Guess I'm just hurried and tired. Thanks for answering.

A very sad dark tale. I think these monsters re human monsters and maybe the mother is one as well.Very well done.

[Emily]

Thank you!!

You're so welcome.

I agree with the review below, it really sounds disturbing and even more awfully it still influences you. Yet well expressed, honest, straightforward, bitter and terrible. I hope you find the strength you need.

[Emily]

Thank you! I am fine, I just found inspiration with the picture of this poem!

[V]

I'm glad to get to know that. You're welcome.

This is great and shocking. The reader is free to understand whatever he wants. This piece can be perceived in many ways, and we'll never know for sure which one is the true meaning :)

[Emily]

Thank you!

[H.L. Cerveise]

Again, I marvel at the scariness your mind creates in your writings.

Well done.

[Emily]

Thank you!!

[Emily]

Thank you Teja!

What makes poetry so grand is the reader can interpret it any way that he chooses. He/She makes sense of the poem in their own fashion while the poet does so in theirs.

For me I see that the mother with twenty of her fanatic fellowship whisked her daughter into a cult.
To the daughter they are ll monsters and she comes to realize that her mother is one as well.

A gripping read. Enjoyed

[Emily]

Thank you!!

I like it but it is incomplete, who is she? Why did her mother let them take her? What did the monsters do with and to her that made her hate them? You tease with just enough to make me want to know more, so GIVE ME MORE :~) I love when I read something that does that to me or I do as long as I know they will write more Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

[Emily]

Thank you Bear!
