**_Darkness_**
What might it mean?
People pointed
People yelled
Hearts turned
I was shuned
Accused of something I didn’t do
I was told I killed
I killed the girl
But what really happened?
I was killed on the inside
I turned to meds
I became depressed
I was thrown into a cell
More of a cage
I cage for criminals
I wasn’t one
Though I felt like one
The floor was cold
There was no light
So I sat in eternal darkness
Just like the card has said.
**_The Forest
_**I was told
Meaning?
Sun shining through it
What could go wrong?
The trees were stable
The leaves falling like normal
People having picnics
Dogs being walked
Blood curdling screams
Guns being used
People being shoot at
Crying
Yelling
Sirens
The person responsible?
Me
Something came ahold I couldn’t stop it
I couldn’t stop
I couldn’t stop
I couldn’t stop
It was like the card had possessed me
I couldn’t stop
Just like the card had foretold
**_Eyes
_**What had that meant?
Should I worry?
I was being watched
I saw the cracks
The cracks in my walls
The people watching
They said I was crazy
But I knew
I knew
They were watching
I was alert
It didn’t work
I was taken
I was watched
And I was taken
By the eyes
The eyes had taken me
The card was true
**_Dreams
_**My dreams?
Someone else’s?
What did it mean?
Sleep never scared me
Dreams weren’t real
Yet went sleep took me they were
I was tortured
I was shot
I was slashed
I was hit
I was strangled
I woke up
No they weren’t real
I went somewhere
I don’t remember where
Then it happened
I was tortured
I was shot
I was slashed
I was hit
I was strangled
But this time I didn’t wake up
This time I was ended
This time it was real
Never again
Never again
Will I look at any card the same way
**_Time
_**Time?
Time?
Time, what’s it mean?
Time flew by
Time took to long
Nothing else
But one day time stopped
It didn’t change
It was frozen
I was the only one who could move
I could speak
I could only move
Everything went black
The time showed on the screen
12 hours till what
12 hours till everything changed
People were re over from earth
Until
Until I was the only one left
Is this what the card had meant?
**_The Moon
_**What will the moon do?
Will it change?
No
It didn’t
It stopped
It disappeared
The tides rolled back
Then came forward
It attacked
Swallowed people whole
The screams
Will never leave my mind
Building collapsed
The world burned
The world didn’t survive
The people didn’t survive
No one survived
The world fell
Is it my fault?
The card I pulled was true
**_Love_**__
__
What about love
I found love
He was perfect
Clear record
Perfect personality
Nothing wrong
Until the night
The night I moved across the country
For school
He was mad
He followed
He attacked me
Told me I would come back with him
Told me I would stay home and be the perfect wife
Told me I would never escape
Love
The card
**_Family
_**I never had a good connection with my family
Might I reconnect?
No
Not even close
My uncle was released
Released from prison
He had kidnapped 8 little boys
Why?
I never knew
Prison didn’t help
It made I worse
He began to kidnap my mom
My cousins
My siblings
My family
Everyone of them
Except me
Why didn’t he kidnap me?
He called and told me to meet him at his house
Now he would kidnap me
I knew it
But no
He showed me all the dead bodies
Then killed himself
In front of my the gun left at my feet
He called the police when I go there
He played me
Framed me
All of the joy of killing someone
The card had been right
**_The Card Reader
_**I am the card reader
I was the one who told everyone their fortunes
It’s not my fault
They were the ones who pulled the cards
They were the ones who chose to question what it meant
It was their fault
Never will it be mine
