The Need to Protect (Pint-Sized Poem #14)
Like a mother hen.
The need kicks in,
when someone,
or anyone
that I love
or care about is
in danger.
That's why I fled
class when She tried
to die.
That's why I ran for my
life when he broke
down in the hallway.
That's why I will call
my best friend in the dead
of night to make sure. . .
Just, make sure
she's alright.
Threats from people.
People I knew,
but didn't know.
I need to stay calm.
I can help if I really
want to.
I can save them both,
from these crazy people.
It's the need to protect.
My motherly instict,
best friend,
crazy psycho
warrior chick
kicks in. . .
And I'm out for blood.

When you wrote "And I'm out for blood." made the poem go from intense to seriouse. Very well done.
