“Engraved” by Tristyn

My life forever changed

In one night

Flashing red light

No wasn’t no

I was all alone

I was engraved

My life was forever changed

I missed core memories

Just because all I could do was freeze

Why did I deserve this?

I asked a million times

I was in silence

With my quiet cries

I was engraved

My life forever changed

Is there any good to this?

Internally feeling ashamed
