Some saw Shannon as a gormless geek; <br />Someone to mock; an uncool freak. <br />But she was a girl with a very sharp mind: <br />A brighter girl, it would be hard to find. <br /> <br />With the Beast, she became quite obsessed; <br />She asked friends to help her in her quest. <br />She had seen a hazy image in a photograph, <br />But, at her, the others still loved to laugh. <br /> <br />That the Beast existed, Shannon would swear; <br />But, the lack of evidence, she could not bear. <br />The Beast's presence, she was able to sense, <br />But she needed to gather some real evidence. <br /> <br />Being called a liar, she could not stand, <br />So off she went with her camera in hand. <br />She would often go out in the dead of night: <br />Within her heart, she would feel such fright; <br /> <br />Talking about the Beast, she soon became a bore; <br />Everyone had heard her story many times before. <br />After strange events, she had strong suspicions; <br />Following this, she went all out on her mission. <br /> <br />In the end, the shocking truth was finally revealed; <br />In the process, Shannon nearly got herself killed. <br />She soon discovered that she wasn't round the bend: <br />The Beast she'd been hunting was Maddy, her friend.<br /><br />Angela Wybrow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/facing-the-facts-wolfblood/
