Mindless Suffering
As I lay here raped and freezing,
I wonder why and for what reason.
Cold and naked and all alone,
Shivering deep inside my bones.
Everything is getting blurry.
They better find me in a hurry.
I see my blood leaving my body.
I realized then they must have shot me.
To plug the hole I done my best.
Three fingers I entered into my chest.
Cars go by without even seeing.
By naked body laying here bleeding.
I worried about my mom and dad.
Would they even think it was this bad?
I think I hear people walking.
I open my mouth to start talking.
But to my surprise no words came out.
I have tears in my eyes.
Weeping loudly and out of control.
They heard me and called out for help.
The ambulance and cops soon were there.
They handled me with special care.
I remember the trip to the hospital.
And them rushing me down a hall.
I woke up with my mom and dad.
They seemed to be very glad.
But for this night will forever haunt me.
I am glad I am alive and they did not have to bury me.
