NARROW ESCAPE

And on that fateful day,
There were no punches or slaps,
Just words heavier than rocks,
Each one cut deeper than the other,
And I felt a storm brewing.

And then I realized,
One more drop and I boil over,
But my blood shouldn't boil over,
The pleasure of anger is reserved for him,
But I couldn't hold down the storm.


And suddenly his lips were moving,
But my world shut down instantly,
Fighting the storm broke me,
My heart, mind and soul cleared,
Never have I ever been more free.


And there's no better feeling,
Than fear, worry, thrown out the window,
I smiled through my blurry sight,
As I walked through the gazing crowd,
Knowing this was the last of it.


And I felt my heart drop,
As memories I never knew I had,
Came to me in pictures and feels,
As I slowly walked into traffic,
Waiting for my pain to end.


And as I stood there,
Blinded by the lights, hooting and screeching,
Suddenly all my senses shutdown,
And I thought, that was fast,
Death was so kind to me.


And then I felt people,
Most of them angry, pulling and pushing me,
When my senses came back to life,
A woman was hugging me, probably a mother,
Imagining my mother losing a daughter.


And then my eyes started leaking again,
As the memory pictures unravelled again,
She asked for a number to call and there was,
There were numbers of people who loved me,
I felt important, loved and worthy again.

And that was my near death experience,
For a man that laughed as I broke and cried,
What a waste it would've been,
To not have seen the person I am today,
A light in the dark for the world, worthy.

And I finally found love,
Self love, it fills my space with golden hue,
You can't light their candle, if yours is out,
I can love deeper and without fear now,
Because I always love me first.
