A Boy In the Forest

Just a boy wandering the forest with some friends.
Suddenly, I got separated from the pack and became lost.
I cried out for help, but no one could hear me.
Running towards the sunlight was my only hope.
Darkness would soon be upon me, and I was alone.
 
Everyone had already made it back home.
Yet I was still alone wandering the forest.
I had no where to run, and no where to go.
I just stayed there wandering what will happen.
Will I get saved, or will I lose myself in the darkness?
 
Nightfall came, and I was still alone in the forest.
The beasts of the night began to make their sounds.
My heart beat faster and faster every second.
Soon, I came face to face with the beast of beasts.
Hello - it said to me, and I just stood there.
 
You look lost - it said to me, and I did not reply.
I began to take a few steps back, but I tripped.
You shouldn't be scared - it said to me.
I am he who will get you out of here - it said to me.
It extended its hand towards me, but I did nothing.
 
Follow me and you will live a great life - it said to me.
I will give you what your heart desires - it said to me.
A part of me wanted to say - yes - and follow it.
Thus, I chose to remain silent and say not a thing.
For I was just a boy, alone in the dark forest.
 
The sound of beasts became louder, and my heart beat fast.
Here, take this - it said to me as it gave me a sword.
You will need it to survive - it said to me.
The beast of beasts left the forest and it became darker.
With a sword in hand, I had only one thing to do:
 
Take my own life, or take the lives of the beasts.
