Lost in Thought


Breathe...

Open eyes

Feel around

Where are you? 

Bright...

Wet Floor 

Cold Air 

Where are you? 

Think back. 

18th Birthday, bar, drinking? Wait no 

Driving so I was sober. Drugged? 

Why does my head feel like a bus hit me 

My Body hurts. 

Did a bus hit me? No cant be. 

Get up. 

Blood. 

Why? How? When. 

Where are you? 

Bruised and In pain 

Where are my Friends? 

Theres my Bag 

Wallet? No 

Car Keys? Yes 

Get in car.  

Look back. The bar? 

Time: 5 am? 

Go Home. Shower. 

So Much Blood. 

What now. Call friends? No phone 

Email? That’s unusual. 

What now. Work, go to work. 

New Phone. New wallet. 

Two months later. no answer from friends. 

No blood I’m okay. Put it in the past. 

Help is needed but I can’t show my true self. 

Police? No too scared. breathe. 

Monday 10 am: Sick 

Tuesday 11 am: Sick 

Wednesday 9 am: I’m okay. Stomach bug? 

Thursday 9:30 am: Sick 

Not Okay. Depressed. Scared. Broke. 

Am I pro choice? 

Get help. Yes. Don’t be scared.
