When an accident happens in front of your eyes.

When an accident happens,
theirs nothing you can do.
It jumps up with no warning,
at you.
Especially when its not you.
When you see it happen,
in front of you’re eyes.
Everything moves in,
slow motion.
You’re world becomes,
a dream from what you,
have just seen.
Not wanting to believe.
You’re brain won’t perceive,
what your eyes say is true.
You’re heart starts to pound,
you’re head starts to spin round,
you’re mouth and you’re body,
are bound.
You are rooted to the ground.
You feel like its took forever,
to release your stare,
as the scene is to painful to bear.
Are you really there.?
No time for questions now,
they need you’re help,
they need you’re care.
Wipe away you’re tears.
Push away you’re fears,
and help them.
