My Life Flashed Before My Eyes

by Beauty Within These Pages of Darkness   Aug 27, 2007


What do I feel?
Whose life will I have to heal?
Certainly not mine,
Even though, I got shot by a bullet from a nine.

I'm still here,
Not letting a single tear.
Run down my face,
Cos I know this isn't the time or the place.

He gunned me down & left me for dead,
He got me in the chest.
Still he could have got me in the head.
I might as well end it now, and lay myself to rest.

Look lord I've survived,
I didn't even need to be revived.
I hope they find who done this to me, and lock him up in jail,
I really hope he never gets bail.

I've got through my ordeal,
And it was so real.
Whether you believe me or not, I haven't lied,
Really, if you think about it I could have died.
