A Poem By a Snail

There they are,
Catching up to me.

My personal bullies.

They have the salt,
To sprinkle on my wounds.

Any minute now.

I look back,
And it's too late.

They're here.

It burns,
The bubbles form.

All I wanted was to be friends.

Too late,
There goes the light.

I curl up and tried to hide.

But I can't,
It's burning too deep.
