Just another day

JUST ANOTHER DAY:

it was just another day
little did i know what this day had in store
for i was about to see something i wasn't ready for

buckled in my seat
driving down a neighborhood street

no other cars in sight
a mother putting up a fight

her home being not that far
stuck, locked inside a burning car

flipped sideways, not being able to push open the door
hearing nothing but terrifying screams of horror

i quickly pulled over and jumped on top of her car to help pry open the door
looking down in the car and seeing a hopeless family of four
covered in blood and crying hopelessly galore
seeing this made my heart soar
a supernatural like power came over me and i was able to opened the door

i climbed in and one by one unbuckled the children and carried them out
but getting the mother unstuck i had to take a different rout

her seat belt was stuck
and it caused her to be severely cut
but i wasn't about to give up

getting her out was extremely rough
but she was tough, she hung in there just barley long enough

holding them close, for they were outta breath
shaking from shock, and scared to death

seeing that frightened family sitting on the curb
all of them speechless ..not saying one word
was something i couldn't just shake off, it was something i couldn't ignore

the police, ambulance and fire truck finally came
and attended to the family

they told me that they would be okay and that i shouldn't fear
i was told to leave for they would take over from here

i was so angry...i wish they never came
for i was the real hero that day, but i walked to my car and drove away in shame
for no one asked me what happened, no one even asked for my name

i left the family with a feeling of disarray
no one cared that because of me they lived to see another day

its so sad to see
how many people aren't acknowledged for their good deeds

but then again this was
....just another day

*(this and most everything i write about is based off true happenings)
