Heart beat fast,
Pulses jittered like a vibrating phone,
Panic engulfed.
Cold and clammy skin drenched in sweat
Timorous, I rose shakily to my feet.
-
I fell myself,
Rose myself,
I didn’t think this would eternally change.
I didn’t want anything
Neither a person familiar or strange.

Like a movie flashed on a wall,
With no connection to time
Couldn't step in
Couldn't step out
Standing helpless in this ordeal,
A speck of light rose above me.
-
A portent perhaps,
A ray of hope
A sign of motherly love,
Stood her spirit
Fuelling me with endearment.
-
Wander for hope in what pleases you,
Never give up.
For remember,
The flesh and blood of whose you are
Is forever ingrained in you.
