Day To Day...Live Or Die Poem by Mary Reese

As I lay here thinking what my life is going to be like
How this terrible tragedy corrupted my future plans
The pavement below my head the blazer on my chest
My life spins around me
Images of death circle my mind
Am I going to live or die
What are people going to think of me
I'm being rushed away
They take the pain and I lay and wait
For an answer
An answer from god a simple sign
To let me know
I can take the next breathe of air
To breath that sigh of relief
I'm lost in this commotion
Terrible confusion takes over my body
Why me why now
Its not my time
Let me stay just one more day
And that day I stayed
