Saskia Eugene Poet Other

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.
