Being shot it's like having your heartbroken.

First you're numb then you feel the burning sensation of pain seeping into you then like a hot iron pain just starts running through your whole entire body like a river.

A lot of times the pain is so crippling you don't know how you were going to go on.

But one day you wake up and realize you no longer hurt and that's when the true battle begins because now you've got to learn how to trust someone with your heart all over again hoping never to feel that throbbing pain ever again. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
