Awoken On Impact

-Awoken On Impact-
by Keaton Foster



Sleeping
Peacefully
Day dreaming
Without question
Believing
I’d be seeing
Another day
Oh how
I am mistaken
The car
That I am in
Is speeding
Out of control
About to roll
Down
An embankment
I’ll be ejected
Thrown
To my death
Killed
By blunt force
Instant
Will be the stop
From fast
To nothing
No one could survive
Especially I
Before I dozed off
I removed
My seatbelt
It was an attempt
At getting comfortable
I did not consider
The ramifications
Of such dereliction
Before now
I always believed
That things like this
Happened
To other people
And I was sure
That God above
Was protecting me
From such things
And myself
How I was wrong
I’m about to die
Killed
By my mistakes
Awoken on impact
I’ll see the end
Just as it happens
Just as my life
Becomes tragic
My friend
The driver
Will survive
He’ll have to live
With what his
Lack of concertation
Has done
I can’t
Really blame him
But I also won’t
Absolve him
Of what he has done
Sleeping
Peacefully
Day dreaming
Without question
Believing
I’d be seeing
Another day
Oh how
I am mistaken
Awoken on impact
Just in time
To scream
Oh heavenly father
Thy God of choice
What of me
Is to be done
In a mere moment
My life will be done
Brutally crushed
Out of my being
Sent from this world
Long before
I was to be done
They’ll say
That what has happened
Is indeed tragic
But what will you say
In the mere moments
After right now…
