The Betrayal Poem by Kyra Schaneel

I'm getting a little suspicious about my family. Or what I've known to be my family. I think they might be keeping a very important secret from me. Something that I should and need to know. I believe this because of a dream I had as a young child.

I was running away as fast as I could. I kept yelling for my mom and suddenly was surrounded by many passages and could only choose one. I paused with hesitation trying to decide where to go. I desperatly yelled for my mother hoping she would come to my rescue. Suddenly I hear her voice echo my name in every path but there is one that sounds as desperate or even more desperate than me. I run as fast as I can scared for why my mother would sound like that. I find myself stopped in front of a wall. I put my hands on it feeling miserable, because I can't get to her when she sounds likes she's on the other side. I start pushing with all my might hoping I could help her, and then her voice changed to almost weeping, 'Come back! Come back! Come back! ' Louder and Louder. Sounding more desperate and broken each time. Then everything around me started to shake and I fell to the ground.

That's when I woke up.
