SURVIVING

voice

His hair , his clothes

His soul , his flaws

All drenched from tip to toes

From the downpour of cold rain

Or perhaps from the teary cries of pain

Running through the tall lifeless structures

Bare foot struggling , creating bleeding sculptures

The sound of thunder grew louder

Inside storm igniting like a " gun powder "

with the blurry vision in this cold night

He sped towards nowhere in his sight

Clutched at his torso , heartbeat crossing scale

Tried to steady his breaths , but not to avail

Tiny stones dug their way into his skin

As he fell on the ground , left his tongue cursing

Closing his eyes , he raised his face

Towards the charcoal sky framed in haze

Each drop of rain falls onto his bruised face

Let out a sigh , started rushing through the estates

His steps trembles with fear ,

Hearing ambulance sirens , a crowd appears

Rain , slick roads , cars , human error

Accident that was waiting to happen

His soul fluttered ,

No words he muttered

When he saw himself on the road laying shattered
