Accident

i sat behind my steering wheel
still trembling after the shock
the fact that i knocked down a woman
still havent registered into my mind

horrific images flooded my mind
the loud noise upon the impact
kept replaying in my ears
and i really want to shut them out

somebody tapped my window
she looks angry enough
so i got down meekly
preparing for the worst

broken legs.. hospital..
i could barely hear them
i suck my breath and tears
stunned to silence, i could only stare

some kind adults took control
but in that moment, i felt so alone
i could feel arrows pointing at me
waiting to tear me inside out

it wasnt really that serious
i kept telling myself, but somehow
the pained look at the victim's face
told me otherwise, suddenly
i felt the world crumbling on top of me

feeling dizzy, i felt like shouting
that i do not want this to happen
the guilt and burden within me
overpowers my conscience

one by one the tears flowed out
dripping from my cheeks
making my images bleary
they looked at me, i turned away
