I am in fear

Every night

It plagues my mind

Like pharaoh

It torments my soul

Contradicting my beliefs

It keeps me silent

So fearful for my life

I just want to die

Or stay in for eternity

And forget living

I am a victim of crime

As I went through my ordeal

In the motion of it

Like an action movie

But only difference

It was real and

I was the star character

Standing

And seeing how close I was to death

Thoughts ran through my mind

Like memorized poetry

Shaking in my wits

Surrounded by evil

Only a prayer

I mumbled

Telling myself

Silently

The archangel Michael

Is near

But still in those brief seconds

I was traumatized.
