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.
