Accidents Happen
driving down the street jamming out to the beat
not knowing what we were about to meet
the next thing i knew i had fallen asleep
waking up to the screeching of tires
i pinched myself hoping it was just a bad dream
as i feel something grab me pulling me to safety
i look back and i see the complete opposite
pain blood agony
my friends my family nearing death
the sound of sirens draw nearer and nearer
carting one by one off to the hospital
for hope that their lives can be saved
sitting int he waiting room
pondering why it wasnt me looking death in the eye
why must i always be the one standing by
why is it my hearts the one to cry
too many times its me saing goodbye
as the sun starts to rise
i jet back home so my parents arent surprised
jump in the shower getting ready as if nothing happened
during the day my mask is put on the night is when it comes off
forced to face reality of the horrifying accident that had just happened
every breathe i take feels as though it is not worthy of being breathed
what has happened to me
why all the lies why all the pain
where did the old me go
day by day i wait anxiously for the latest news about my friends
till finally the out come has arrived
marcus will not survive
after hearing the news my heart shattered into a million pieces
how many more are going to be taken away
where am i supose to go from here
tear after tear
my heart grows with more fear
fear of loosing others fear to take off my mask and show the world i am hurting
how can this be how can so many people die when it should be me
the answer is it was an accident
nothing can be changed about what has happened
the cure is time
and that is what i seem to have a whole lot of
