I Am
By: Melissa Fern Kinkle

I am a person who was hit by a car
I wonder who hit me
I hear cars moving and that scares me
I see people J-walking and I cry
I want to be out of pain
I am a person who was hit by a car

I pretend that I never got hit by a car
I feel sad that I broke his windshield
I touch my leg and I cry
I worry that I will never overcome my fears
I cry because I am hurting
I pretend that I never got hit by a car

I understand that some of it was my fault
I say that I was almost dead
I dream about the person that hit me
I try to think that I never got hit
I understand that some of it was my fault
