Literature Text

There are scissors on the floor;
They could hurt me.
There are baskets by the door;
They are the enemy.
There are claws in my thighs;
I feel them tearing.
There is light that will arise;
I feel it glaring.
There is whispering in my head;
I hear them calling.
There are sharpened pieces of lead;
I hear them falling.
I want to cry; I want to die;
Save me from my own sad lie.

I really like this poem, too. (I think I might have to start watching you, now...)
I like the rhyme scheme, though, and I really love how you changed it at the end and involved the whole present, first person point of view in the final three lines.

This really stuck with me. Again, well written.
