As the wind swirled past, I could hear it say,
Your time of punishment has come today.
But it must be in my head, for the wind cannot speak,
Then suddenly I feel drained my legs are getting weak.
This can't be happening it's all in my mind.
You know what you did stop being so blind.
I must be tired; I just need some sleep,
Yet echoing in my mind is a voice, clear and deep.
You've been found guilty, so I recommend you pray.
After what's been done, there's a price you must pay.
It was just an accident, I'm innocent I swear.
Then my lungs began constricting, emptying of air.
I tried to inhale but couldn't find my breath,
If I didn't get help fast I would suffocate to death.
No one was around; I thought I was done,
But with one choice left, I started to run.
I used all my strength and I gave it my all.
But my heart gave way and I began to fall
I sprang from my bed with a blood-curdling scream
To realize with relief it was only a dream.
Then I lay back down so I could get to sleep
I can't tell a soul…this secret I must keep.
My heart was racing and I was dripping with sweat,
But, they haven't found out, at least…not yet.
