Bullet

Red

Flowing from a hole in my body

Oozing

The guttural groan and cry of pain escaping from my vocal chords

The pain, the pain 

Agony, is all I can feel is the gut-wrenching agony

The screaming of sirens in the far distance

The darkness flooding my eye lids

Bright lights overhead

The motherly screams and the fatherly yelps of demand

Sisters wailing and brothers comforting

Did God take me as his angel?

Or Did Satan collect me from the gates of inferno?

The faint beeping and chairs skidding across the tiled floor

Awakens me or so I thought

I can hear but I cannot speak

Trying to communicate but nothing moves

Muscles still and frozen in place

Forced oxygen and starvation is what now awakens me

I'm awake but my conscience isn't 

Brain dead and forever quiet
