                LOSING HOPE

 

I watched as the fire took over my house(personification)

Leaving everything behind,

I was rushed out by a very generous man

Who dedicated his life in saving people

Like me

 

I watched as the fire spread like a virus(simile)

I heard people scream for help

I knew I wasn’t any help to them

I stood there feeling useless(metaphor)

 

The news broadcasters looked into the cameras

And felt pity for people like us

But yet, they could not help

 

I fell apart on the inside(personification)

my home was gone

I had nowhere to go.

BOOM!(onomatopoeia)   

The other houses started falling to the ground(personification)

And CRASH(Onomatopoeia)I went on the inside

 

Soon appeared the moonlight(rhyme)

And nothing was done

Perhaps all I can do is recite, recite, recite(repetition)   

The name of God.
