All started when I closed my eyes..

Not again

Walking back from school, from hanging with the guys..

Heard a noise, it was not good

A little frightened, as I should

Turned a little, looked in the corner of my eye

Cursed with all the french I could get by

I saw a shadow, I saw another, and another..

CRAP

Continue to stare in front of me,

I start to walk faster,

Hopefully they don't become a bother..

Then, to my dismay

I heard them,

Oh god, I want to be okay

My pace then turned into a slight jog..

Footsteps I kept hearing, behind my jog..

Then their voices became louder

DON'T LET HER GET AWAY

NO!

I then start to sprint, to run as fast as I can..

My backpack became a bog..

I turned a corner, all three following

I tripped, I fell..

Landed on my leg, it didn't hurt, but I screamed

The shadows were right above me now

I didn't get away..

But they just stood there, looking down at me

I was now amazed on how alive I became to be..

At this moment

I realized how important my life was to me..

The people in it, my friends

One shadow disappeared..

My family..

Another disappeared..

My world..

The third drifted away..

I am still alive

My eyes finally opened..

Laying in a hospital bed..

20 lacerations, one close to my heart

"This is such a miracle, you are still alive"
