'The Voices'

As Maya ran rapidly to her room,

the pictures seem to stare at her face,

she remembered the deadly tomb,

the shadows danced around in grace.

No one knew she was there,

no one really cared.

But as she heard the familiar voices,

she hid; terrified and scared.

Why were they haunting her,

there's no reason why

And as she jumed to her bed

she was even prepared to die.

As morning came, all she did was shake her head.

She didn't want to belive what was going on,

on her arm was blood so red.

She could only shake her head

"Why me?"

"Did this have to be?"

She hoped she was wrong.
