Into the Moon Light

It's two in the morning
The night is black as pitch
No one seems to notice
The car in the ditch

The boy's screams go unheard
He feels lost and alone
He makes a grab
For his cell phone

It's broken into pieces
So all he can do is cry
And sit there bleeding
Wondering why

Life was too short
He doesn't deserve this
There's so much left to do
He hasn't even gotten his first kiss

He wonders if there's a God
And if he's watching him die tonight
It's not his time yet
He knows he has to fight

Wiggling his broken foot free
He begins to lift the other
And screams in pain
And curses "Mother...!"

He grabs a towel in the passenger seat
He bites down on it for release
Once again he yanks at his leg
As the pain quickly begins to increase

This is beside the fact however
He knows he must break loose
But a thought creeps into his mind
"What's the use?"

"No!" he screams out loud
"Suck it up you wimp!"
"I don't care if I have to live the rest of my life,
With a silly looking limp!"

"I'm getting out of this tonight!
I will remember this day
As the time in my life
Where for once I saw things go my way!"

With this renewed sense of courage
His leg squeezes free
Now he must break the door open
He begins ramming it with his knee

That wasn't such a good idea
His knee begins to throb
But he holds back his tears
For there is no time to sob

With the towel he used to bite
He wraps it around his hand
And breaks what's left of the windshield glass
With the cool night air his lungs begin to expand

He can taste safety
But first he has to crawl
Out of the jagged windshield
Before he can be safe at all

Slowly but surely
He makes his way out
As he catches his stomach on a small piece of glass
He lets out a minute shout

With a sigh of frustration
He continues his get away
Nothing can hold him back
He won't allow a delay

His arms touch the cold ground
Yet it's never felt so warm
He hadn't even noticed
He was in the middle of a thunderstorm

As the rain washes most of his blood away
He stands up with relief
He gapes at the mutilated car
In total disbelief

This wreck was a disaster
A truly appalling sight
But he refuses to look back
As he walks away into the moon light
