FLEE


--


I seek escape
I seek a way
I try to catch the ghost with his face

In the distance, voices
No second chances
No last dances

My footsteps echo in the darkness
They disappear into the darkness
Slowly they erode in the blackness

I cry with tears that are blood red
As nightmares play again in my head
The movie comes to no end

I am prisoner to the past
My own fate has been cast
On the crimson-stained die of time

Forever I will run
Forever I will hide
From the lingering horrors
That are trapped unheeded inside

Excellent job, Deneveon! I think you've really captured Tahiri in this poem (I find that sometimes her character is actually easier to write in a poem format.)

I like how you focused on the fact that Tahiri is desperately trying to run from the Yuuzhan Vong within her, but can't quite escape the effects of her shaping. My favorite lines:

No second chances
No last dances


Those just made me shiver! Great job, and keep up the good work.
