Don'T
Sometimes I walk at night alone
With this knowledge and ability to take space
and I remember the pain cutting me
Like a thousand stabbing knives
and I tried hard not to cry
I could hear the paramedic say
"This woman is going to die"
"This boy is loosing his mind"
Now I would be insane?
I mumbled to myself
I burned and freeze like ice
"That is just a life test"later they said
Don't tell me it's just a test
Don't tell me not to cry
Don't tell me you understand
I held my life so close
and my memory is my keepsake
With which we'll never part
Because I had a rendezvous with death
but God disputed it.
