The Attempt
Sirens blaring
Lights flashing
Machines beeping
All around
Doctors trying
To save me from dying
And finding a home
In the ground
Family crying
Friends praying
Everybody
Asking why.
Heart stops beating
I stop breathing
The time has come
For me to die.
Doctors working
Family screaming
I slowly open
Up my eyes.
My life is saved
I'm not in the grave
Happy tears flow
From my family's eyes.
Death is weeping
I am sleeping
I've lived to see another day.
I am crying
Still feel like dying
It shouldn't have to
Be this way.
