FIRE
April 28, 2009
SMOKE IS FILLING MY LUNGS
THERE’S FIRE BEFORE MY EYES
I’M YELLING FOR HELP BUT NO ONE HEARS MY CRIES
I’M PRAYING TO GOD “PLEASE DON’T LET ME DIE”
I CAN FEEL THE FLAMES TOUCHING MY SKIN
I’M HOPING & PRAYING THIS ISN’T HOW IT ENDS
THE FIRE IS MAKING IT HARD TO SEE
THE SMOKE IS MAKING IT HARD TO BREATHE
MY BODY IS GETTING WEAKER
I CAN BARELY SPEAK
SUDDENLY DARKNESS TAKES OVER ME
WHEN I OPEN MY EYES MY MOM IS LOOKING AT ME SAYING
“STINK IT WAS ONLY A DREAM”
