In The Mind Of Survival

Imagine being out in the wilderness

Alone, with no cellphone.

All you see is acres and acres of land.

Maybe an island with lots of sand.

Lots of trees and nobody to offer you their hand.

You have been walking for miles, thr hot sun blaring on your pale skin.

You have no idea, where to begin.

Voices of wild animals are all around you.

Up ahead is an abandoned cabin, how can this be true.

You keep walking til you reach the door.

You become dizzy and your feet become sore.

Your tempted to walk in,

Your temptation wins.

It is very dark inside,

A good place to spend the night.

Someone else must of been there.

It looks like the place was kept with care.

One night is all you need,

To rest your weary eyes.

You start missing your family,

And begin to cry.

There was a bed kept clean,

Big enough to be seen.

You rest for just a little bit,

But didn't realize that you had spent the night.

Just before you seated in a chair, a man did sit.

You become frightened and scream.

You realize that this is not a dream.

The man handed you some food to eat.

Without realizing it, on your plate was a piece of meat.

You tell him your story, and how you ended up here.

He pauses for a moment, and feeds off your fear.

He explains that he has a car up ahead.

Wherever you need to go, he would drive you, that's what he had said.

You think for just a moment and ponder on a thought.

If you don't take his offer, you could end up shot.

So you jump to his offer and jump with glee.

He smiles back, with a thoughtful handshake indeed.

They introduce themselves to one another.

She felt a safe feeling, and would be grateful to him forever.

He kept driving and turned towards her with his evil smile.

She was kind of freaked out because in his trunk, their lay a child.

She heard a screaming sound and looked all around.

Beside her was a gun.

She grabbed it and pointed it towards him to stop, and opened the door to run.

He took off really fast,

But didn't realize that she wrote down his license plate no. , her emotions were masked.

She finally made it into town.

Up ahead was the police,

But he was nowhere to be found.

With fear she explained to the cop, what had happened to her and about the strange man with the child.

He took down the number,

Thanked her, and drifted off into the wild.

She had found herself alone, again.

This journey into the wild will never end.

At least now she can find her way into town

Walking everywhere and all around.

The police had found the car, but the man was not inside.

The little child was wrapped in cord,

He then started to cry.

Lost inside his little mind,

A horrific sight, they did find.

He was brought back to his parents place.

A horrifying look upon their face.

By saving herself,

She saved this little boy of age four.

A frightening appearance, he would not ignore.

She made it home, after days of being on the road.

A tale she lived through,

A story she told

Graciously, she held the boys hand.

To not scare him, she did it in a way that he would understand.

The story made the news,

What else could they lose.

The strange man went to jail,

He was put away for a long, long time and not with bail.

The little boy had to seek professional help.

Suffering was what he was about.

The one true hero in all of this was the girl

In the mind of survival.

She played this really well,

A whole book to sell.

The nightmares that she prevailed,

Was in the book and now for sale.

He stands behind the bars, a caged in beast looking for his next feast.

She will go on, looking strong.

Still wondering where she belongs.

In the mind of survival,

Still standing strong, she's the girl.

In the mind of survival. .
