Crouched by the car, I curse at the sky, Soaked to the bone while people turn a blind eye.
I blink.
I see myself with no mirror. Yet it couldn't be clearer.
I blink.
This she, These we. They all look like me.
I blink.
All wearing the same high-tops with a wrinkled T. The same me.
I blink.
They have died since. Oxygen deprived arteries left behind like blueprints.
I blink.
They now resemble twisted mannequins, Eyes lifted eternally to heaven, atoning for their sins. Expressions all poising questions.
I blink.
I see myself, miles down my current route in a deadly collision. Body at an unnatural angle--no seatbelt, bad decision.
I blink.
Myself at a party, sippin' on some whiskey. A quick plop in my drink ensures I can't get away quickly.
I blink.
The high tops I wear are worn, much like myself from abuse. Empty apologies don't make up for the blood on my shoes. Just another victims name on the evening news.
I blink.
I was the person who held signs saying "free hugs." Now an addict, I'm throwing up on someone else's scrubs.
I blink.
Is this my future? Dead, abused, a user?
I blink.
A man appears, an umbrella in hand. "Would you like some help?" He asks, helping me stand. Where he came from I can't understand...
I blink.
"They call me Heavenly Father. And I take care of my own--Especially my own daughter."
I blink.
"I've seen too much--What do I do? I'll always die with a sense of déjavu."
A smile.
"I'll always be here. Perfect love casts out all fear."
He's gone.
I realize I don't have to die from abuse or a needle in my vein. I don't need to choose pain. A laugh bubbles out of me as I realize, I just met God in the rain.
Writing prompt: you find a piled of dead bodies that all look like you. All wearing the same outfit you have on today.
