Ode to Jason & Freddy

Hello mother, hello father.
Greetings from the camp by the water.
Freddy's creeping in my dreams.
I cannot sleep from all the screams.

Jason snuck in to my cabin.
He took my friend's head then.
So I ran for my life.
To the kitchen I took a knife.

And I hid under a bed.
I stabbed Jason, thought he was dead.
So I ran down by the lake.
What I saw there made me shake.

Crystal Lake was full of blood.
Body parts were strung in the mud.
Jason snuck up right beside me.
Freddy jumped from behind a tree.

They fought with each other.
"Please come save me, my dear mother."
That is all I can remember.
Doctors tell me it is now December.

Now I sit here in my room.
The pads are protection from doom.
The cup is now very full.
The nurses use it for my drool.

A Window Opens

A window opens
To a child
A chance she did not take
The window slams
Sealed so tight
Leaving a heart to break
A young scared girl
She once was
Hiding in her mind
Imagining how things
Could have been
Scared of what she could find
A long cold night
And she stayed warm
Alone in her bed
No one there
To hold her tight
Who knows the life she's led
No longer a child
She has grown
To a woman filled with fear
'Til she meets
Her gallant knight
His love she holds dear
A sleepless night
And she must stand
To see another day
A helpless child
She once was
Long ago and far away
A saddening dream
And she must wake
So other's can see
A hard lived life
That she once led
But now she is free
