Never in my life

lessons

By Karen GreenPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

This really did happen to me in march of two thousand and fourteen

I had went back to my ex , a lesson unforeseen

When we are somewhere we aren't meant for at that time

We grow in life whether its a stepping stone or a wall to climb

Never in my life did I think this could happen to me

Scared to learn how to protect myself now its soon to be

Early Thursday Morning all alone around five forty five

The fear that death for me surely did arrive

As I heard suddenly a loud banging terrified my heart hit the floor

With voices of men yelling over and over its the police open your door

Traumatized by the taunting sounds as they kept on

Praying to God that they would soon be gone

Ive never been in trouble so I feared the men were bad

Panic struck me hard as I started screaming it made them mad

As they started busting in I screamed into my phone

Help me someones trying to break in and no faces yet shown

Thirty seconds later I was grabbed and put to the ground

Surrounded by cops screaming and crying I looked around

They soon realized they had the wrong home when they saw I was lot two

Apologies were made but now I am terrified and don't know what to do

All caused by the laws miscalculations on where they should be

Now this fear I didn't know is living inside of me..
