Reality Check Poem by Jacque Hardison

Hold on, stop the world
Take a deep breath
Count to three
Your life as we know it is being twirled
Your loved one almost experienced death
When she was drowning in the deep blue sea

You've completely ignored her
Now she is in love
With the person that saved her life
I know you didn't mean this to occur
She was the only one that you've ever though of
Now your heart has been cut open with a knife

So I want you to stop and think
And say to yourself
'Why is my mind in such a wreck? '
Your life can pass by you with one blink
Make sure you have good health
And know with every wrong doing, needs a reality check.
