• I feel numb,
    I feel blue.
    Someone touches me,
    but I don't know who.

    Confused,
    my thoughts run fast.
    Dead,
    for that's what I knew last.

    "I died?"
    I whisper to myself inside.
    "I am not dead yet."
    I try to open my eyes wide.

    But I can't,
    the man talks.
    "A bullet to the head."
    he says as he walks.

    Confused,
    cold and numb.
    I troubleshoot my mind and think,
    "ARE YOU DUMB?"

    I might be numb and cold,
    but certainly not dead.
    Then I could feel something,
    something inside my head.

    Silent screams fill the room,
    I begin to cry inside.
    "Now" said the man,
    "Let's see what happened when you died."

    The numbness was broken,
    by a knife to the chest.
    Cutting downward,
    I-I can't tell you the rest.

    How can I be dead,
    no heartbeat or motion of the soul.
    But then how could I feel the pain,
    and feel my chest become a whole.

    They cut and minced,
    until the room was a pool of blood.
    8 hours of living hell,
    and every lead was a dud.

    8 hours I screamed,
    and tried to bear the pain.
    It changed all that I knew,
    nothing was the same.

    But why should you care?
    for I am dead now.
    You might not know who,
    but at least you know how.
