untitled by Melicia Morris Age: 13 Where the noise and confusion is, where the tears and heartbreak are, where there is a chance to make someone crumble as does an ancient statue left in the desert to die, seems to be the only place they want to be. Controversy calls them as the treacherous web calls the insecure fly. Trapping it in prison with a life sentence. Breathing life into something of complete lie is the only way they are contented. Ruining someone's life attracts twisted smiles to their faces. Spreading rumors to them is like spreading a poisonous gas through a forest. One pull of a trigger is all it takes. Smattering hopes and crushing dreams is only but a game to them. Bringing unsuspecting victims to their knees. But as the game comes to a close they realize, that they were the pieces around the board and not the hands controlling them. Some come to their senses and others will never change. But no one ever wins a game that never ends. |
