Slowly...
i had to crawl.
My weak arms
the sounding of alarms.
The hot ground
burning my hands.
I can feel the fan
as i reach for it.
The blisters
are like horrible sores.
I can see the people
stare me down.
I can see...
no hands reaching for me.
The sounds of whispering
the sounds of the alarms.
They are loud
against my fragile ears.
I can;t crawl faster
i can feel the blood
dripping from my knees.
All i want...
is to stand again.
To see
a helping hand
call out to me.
But all i see...
is the emptiness
of being alone in this world.
