run, run
as fast as you can
you can’t catch me
I’m the Gingerbread Man!


jump, jump
as high as the sky
you can’t catch me
you can’t even fly

so stretch, stretch
as far as you’ll reach
you’re nothing and no one
a meaningless leech

hide, hide
for predators, Prey
will hunt you, and hunt you
till the dying day

so see, see
you haven’t a chance
for I can outrun you
as fast as you ran

scream, scream
and tremble in fear
I’m coming my Prey
so shed all your tears

die, die
I’ve got you now
my precious Prey
shrieking without sound

so run, run
as fast as you can
you can’t catch me
I’m the Gingerbread Man…

Alright...another older piece, but getting closer to the present. Anyways...

I love this piece. I'm really proud of it, just because even I find it a bit disturbing.

For anyone who doesn't understand what exactly is going on, and I know it's really vague so you've gotta use your imagination. But when I wrote it I was thinking what if the Gingerbread Man ate people instead of the other way around? If he were alive, and the predator? Yeah, I know, like I said, disturbing.

Anyways, I hope you like it! And if you interpret the poem differently please let me know what it makes you think is happening, 'cause I'd love to hear all the ways you see this!

I'm glad you like it! ^^ And yes it is disturbing, but that's part of what I like about it, too. But, why are you so surprised I wrote this? >.< It's not like I haven't done other disturbing pieces.

Thanks for the comment and the :+fav:! :aww:
