I had the chance to stay alive
we ran but, I fell twice
I didn't see the one lurking at the end of my drive
It was an old one an surprised me completely
my hand went up to stop the teeth
but it sunk down on my wrist ever so quickly
I got away but now I greatly fear
that the virus will spread
maybe by a freak chance I will be free and clear
should I tell the others I start to wonder
I know if it was me I would shoot them in the head
But I am so embarrassed by my total blunder
If I lay and wait I could endanger the others
It will creep up on me and spread
My people are close we are like brothers
My life would have been saved with an amputation
My indecision has my life hanging from a thread
Now I live in total frustration.
I need to get a gun to end it all
or some way to successfully behead
right now I am up against a wall
