All started when I closed my eyes.. Not again Walking back from school, from hanging with the guys.. Heard a noise, it was not good A little frightened, as I should Turned a little, looked in the corner of my eye Cursed with all the french I could get by I saw a shadow, I saw another, and another.. CRAP Continue to stare in front of me, I start to walk faster, Hopefully they don't become a bother.. Then, to my dismay I heard them, Oh god, I want to be okay My pace then turned into a slight jog.. Footsteps I kept hearing, behind my jog.. Then their voices became louder DON'T LET HER GET AWAY NO! I then start to sprint, to run as fast as I can.. My backpack became a bog.. I turned a corner, all three following I tripped, I fell.. Landed on my leg, it didn't hurt, but I screamed The shadows were right above me now I didn't get away.. But they just stood there, looking down at me I was now amazed on how alive I became to be.. At this moment I realized how important my life was to me.. The people in it, my friends One shadow disappeared.. My family.. Another disappeared.. My world.. The third drifted away.. I am still alive My eyes finally opened.. Laying in a hospital bed.. 20 lacerations, one close to my heart "This is such a miracle, you are still alive"

Alive..
All started when I closed my eyes.. Not again Walking back from school, from hanging with the guys.. Heard a noise, it was not good A little frightened, as I should Turned a little, looked in the corner of my eye Cursed with all the french I could get by I saw a shadow, I saw another, and another.. CRAP Continue to stare in front of me, I start to walk faster, Hopefully they don't become a bother..

Think about it.
