Me, Looking Back At Me

BOOM!! Explosion, fire, smoke, serene... As I realize what has happened; Just what i've done to me... Focusing, I regain clear vision; As i'm gazing straight towards me, I see myself, Bloodied; Crumpled in a seat... I look upon all the chaos, that now lyes before me; Almost as if, as if in total disbelief, of the horror that's been created... created within me, by me, for me, too me... Lifeless, no movement from my chest; Lifeless, without momement; No breath... My eyes opened wide potruding, it seem's; As if frightened, or caught by surprise; I lie there, looking directly back at me, mesmerized. As I watch myself, lying there, My eyes, looking into my eyes; I drift some, just a little; I'm farther away now, still aware of my feelings; Emotions, somehow still apart of me... Overwhelmed with regret, of what I now see; Alone, no movement; Me, Looking back at Me...

wow! Your thoughts are deep.... one time after labor, my body was asleep... my body was coming to after the c-section... i remember my mind awake, while my body slept. I actually thought of death during that moment.. I was pretending my body crossed over.. very strange to share that with you.... Like you i always look back at that day...xox~pd

Incredible write. Sometimes the most terrifying things we come face to face with is ourselves. I love how you incorporated the terror with these words. Amazing. Favorited. xD Always, Laura
