Breath shaking rapidly
  Like a quivering dog penalized
A car flies by my passenger side

Pupils dialated
  Diaphragm inflated
All I can do is watch

Watch and remember
  The time the car flew
The moment I closed my eyes

Metal screeching
  Each other reaching
Blood breaching

And I realize
  When I open my eyes
I'm not in that car

I'm still here
  And getting near
To calm and peace

Working towards the days
  When I see it in my face
The absence of fear

The absence of guilt
  The confidence I once had
The victory over my own mind
