The Darkest Day

Burning eyes, I cannot believe I'm alive Smoke fills the air and it makes me so scared My brain is cloudy and slow, and I see myself upside down on the ground People are screaming, I hear loud crashing Everything begins falling I know I won't make it out alive. The building is breaking the whole place is shaking And I get up to run for my life My hands scraped and bloodied, my skirt, torn. There's no time to mourn. My hair is matted and wet, and I crash into a person I had just met Making my way down the stairs, I think about how this is all unfair. In that split second there's another BOOM And impact Throws me down to my doom. But a hand grabs me and pulls me up, I would say something but I can hardly gulp. I can't see and my savior leads me. There's a ringing in one ear, but none in my other. I scream in frustration, and my vision goes under. Deep darkness overwhelms me. There is pain in my arms and I just want to leave Leave this chaos of a world, this place where the smoke curls and whirls. My body shuts down as I slowly fall on the ground and my life flashes before my eyes. But it is okay. This is all I can take And then I hear sirens and people. I smile at them because I know it is too late. I close my eyes then. This was the end. I see the light and I give up the fight.
