Car Crash
April 5, 2021
The car flipped upside down on the highway,
flames and black smoky air rise above it,
small flames sputter before my eyes.
Fear spins through my mind,
I don't know what to do,
I’m suffocating and I can’t take the pain.
Suddenly, she interrupts the dark,
this coffee shop girl in a Dunkins hat
takes my hand, gives me life.
I don't speak to her and that drives her crazy.
She brought me out of the darkness and I am so grateful.
I finally get to see the light again,
the sky, the world, everything.

Writing is something I love to do and i've been written for myself ever since I was a little girl. Writing gives me a sense of releif and it makes me feel like a weight has been taken off my shoulders.
I came up with this piece by taking lines from paragraphs of situations I'd been in and it turned into something totally unexpected.
