Taken
March 15, 2019
Scared, Alone, Confused
Not knowing what to do
Strapped down to the icy stretcher
If only I knew what they were really after
My mind scrambled for memories of what had happened
Making sure to show no fear
I swore I would not shed my tears
As father stood behind the mask
I wonder what might be his task
My mind ponders what is really going on here
Are they here to take me away?
I wonder if I will ever see the light of day
Although I was taken against my will
Our true identity we must conceal
To the south we head for our new life to finally begin

You are so talented! This poem is so detailed and has so much imagery. I really enjoy your style and I hope to see more great poems from you. :)
This poem is based off the book Taken by Edward Bloor.
