Fighting for air

I heard the tires screech, but nothing could be done,

No air left in my lungs, but I wanted to run,

"No", my brain said, "No running for you.",

My legs couldn't move, so I know it was true.

Glass shattered across my face; piercing, ripping the skin,

Scarlet oceans built around me, as my world started to spin,

I had no control over what was happening, turmoil rang through me,

The essence of life attempted to flee,

But I held on, not willing to let go,

I inhaled the heavy air, I wanted to live, I wanted to grow.

Darkness surged all over, the light faded away,

But I knew I was only asleep; I was a fighter, not taught to obey.
