Late one night last July,
I jumped on my bike and met up with a friend.
I'm not sure why, should have been in bed.
"Fuck it" I said, thought I'd only be ten.
I woulda stayed in, if I knew what would hap-pen.
Cruising the streets, enjoying the breeze,
the great green, in the tall tree leaves,
and many bright lights, in this city.
Went down Clifton hill,
if you've been here, you'd know where I was still.
At first it was a fun,
little moonlight run.
Not a race,
kept the pace
enjoyable,
had nothing to worry about.
It was quiet from the pandemic.
Then all of a sudden, there was traffic
I wasn't laughin...
I picked up speed, started going too fast,
yes indeed, it scared my ass.
Eyes started flashing with fear,
cause there was too much there.
I couldn't turn the next corner (cor-nair)
My brakes wouldn't work, I couldn't stop
My only thought... "There's a wall I can hop"
"If I land in the grass, it wont be so bad"
Looked like a safe place to crash, without hitting my head
At the end of this road is a gorge and sure death.
I took a deep breathe...
"I have to stop my fall",
"Its' small, I'll evade it",
I mistimed the bail, I almost made it...
Hit the top rail,
through the air I then sailed.
Rotating around,
I hit my head on the ground.
Even though there was a loud sound,
I felt lucky I landed in dirt,
my head didn't really hurt.
Tried to get up and walk it off,
but instantly I dropped.
Too much pain in my leg,
I'm in a garden, and must get away.
As my thoughts gathered,
I rolled up my shorts to see the damage.
The bone was sticking out, blood was splattered
My kneecap was shattered.. nothing else mattered.
I started to shout..
Wanted to go home, but my friend said "No"...
"You need to go to the hospital yo"
I was trying to remain sane,
but was writhing in pain,
I could see what he was saying...
"Damn this"
He called an ambulance for aid.
I needed to be saved, it was an emergency...
I was, cursin the authority,
with a burstin surety..
A couple stopped to offer assistance, while others ignored my very existence.
Felt so much gratification, from those angels on vacation.
Almost 20 minutes of waitin...
I was in deep contemplation.
"I'm going home", felt no one was coming
I wasn't alone, but there I was bumming
I appreciated their staying,
but I kept praying,
going insane, (in-say-in)
Wishin' i was dreamin',
I screamed out to God for my life
and instantly the team of medics arrived
I knew I would be alright,
"I'll make it through this alive"
"God is on my side"
Stuck in bed for months,
though I felt like a grump,
I learned to be more grateful.
It wasn't fun losing my independence,
it made sense, to be less hateful.
Still cant fully bend my knee almost a year later.
But you will see, it will get better. (bay-ter)
