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"
