The wreck

by Stephanie Naylor   May 13, 2007


Driving home after a night out on the town
laughing and carrying on not hearing that sound

we approached the railroad tracks
all sitting still trying to relax

then we hear what we didn't before
then a sense of tension releases from my core

we are hit by the oncoming train
we fly from the car, and all i feel is pain

i lift my head off the ground to see what i will find
different thoughts racing through my mind

no one was moving and everything was still
they were all flattened just like road kill

i sit and wonder to my self how Lucky am to be alive
i muster up as much energy as i can to survive

but my body is shutting down and i will soon be dead
i will wait till i feel the cold hard ground beneath my head

    I think.. as my own opinion maybe trying to change this.. it sounds really good.. but had a little grammar mistake..maybe change from
    Driving home after a night out on the town
    laughing and carrying on not hearing that sound
    to this...
    Driving home after a night in town
    laughing and carrying on not hearing that sound

    but other than that, I really love this poem , it so deep and so emotional;y powerful.. good job 5/5 keep up the good work!!

    The imagery you used in this was wonderfully done, it created very vivid pictures for me.
    I thought flow was good throughout the poem, and I love the ending, I found it to be very intense and hard hitting.

    This was quite good, however I feel you could maybe have expressed the emotions a little be clearer? It was interesting though, very sad, too. :[
