This will be over soon.
I know you’re afraid,
But
Stay still.
Just relax;
I will find you.
I’m almost there.
I’m catching up.
I’m running faster
To help you now.
Say a prayer.
You can’t
Come out from hiding.
It’s not hide-and-go seek.
This isn’t a game.

I love the structure of this one! Good job!
I have not seen one of these poems in quite some time. Great to see a classic like this in the works.
As a heads up, the “protector” part does sound a bit like the “predator” side. Regardless, the message comes across well.
I hope this was a challenge for you as struggle always helps with improvement!
Good job!

Hmmm… It does sound a little ambiguous. I’ll try to edit it to help distinguish the two. Thank you for the feedback!
This is super cool!
