Literary Contest rough drafts

I'm not finished writing the rough draft of my short story, but here are two poems I've completed so far:

Escape

Run. Move. Faster.
I've got to get away from here.
I've got to get away from this place.

Where can I go?
I can't go back.
I won't go back.

These demons keep chasing me.
These ghosts keep haunting me.
These shadows keep watching me.

They won't go away.
They'll never go away.
I'll always feel their breath on my neck.

I have to show them who I am.
I have to show them I am better.
I have to survive.

I will survive.
I will run and I will move faster.
I will get away from here.
I will escape.


Queen of Broken Hearts

They say Wonderland is the most wonderful place,
But it is here where my people come to me.
My broken people.

They say Wonderland is the most wonderful place,
But it is here that I wait for someone to come and make something of this void.
To heal me.

They say Wonderland is the most wonderful place,
But it is here where my sister, my twin, is free to roam.
I am her shadow.

They say Wonderland is the most wonderful place,
But it is not for me nor is it for Alice.
But I am not Alice.
I am a queen.
A Queen of Broken Hearts.

A, those are very nice 8D I bet you will win with poems like those! (You should seriously read some of the poems our English teacher showed us as examples; I couldn't stay awake they were so bad XD) I know you'll do great with these two ;D
