I lay back
The grass is soft
And the dirt cold- but I felt warm
I hear my dad’s voice
I'll be right there buddy
The worry had gotten old
Lady luck in a heap
A broken dream on the street
No smell in the air
No air at all
Only heat
The thoughts in my head
Why aren’t I dead
I could feel my nose hang
Onto my lip
Blood strewn on my face
Red and blue flashing
All I could see
Was the life that hadn’t been lost
The life that was me
My mom hugs my body
And crushes my head
Her eyes hanging down
Like being pulled on by lead
But God does not frown
He smiles up above
My child you’re not over
Your journey just begun.
