Blindly, I run down the street,
running toward a crowd of screams and panicked voices,
running toward an overturned car.

As I grew closer,
the voices faded,
the only noise was my quickening heartbeat

My heart contracted
and I became numb,
as I stared in horror

My hands trembled as they clutched my hair.
Slowly, falling to my knees,
gapping at the scene before me,

All I could do was cry.
