Different morning

An account of the morning I got hit by a car whilst on my bike. I'm fine now and nothing was broken.

“Be good”

“Stay safe”

“I will”

“I promise”

Every morning those words

Holding less and less meaning

But you say them anyway

You agree

Just so it feels like you might just comply

Coat on.

Lights on

Music on

Pedal

Every morning

Without fail

That was how it went

Look left

Look right

Pedal

Up the hill

Look left

Look right

Pedal.

At the top

Down the hill

Pedal

Soft breaks

My way

Pedal more

Crash.

Just like the movies

Muffled noise

Heart beat

Closed eyes

Sore side

Worried voice

No tears

Shaking

Tangled up

Distant memory

Just to think

5 years back

That was my heaven

I wanted it

I invited it

Now I can’t

Broken wing mirror

Bent wheel

Injured leg

Pained arm

Rushed phone calls

Flapping hands

Waiting

Waiting

Dads car

Police report

Paramedic

(He was hot)

Dismissed to go

Taken home

Hugs and kisses

Shaking heads

Laying on the sofa

Some water in my hand

Mum rubbing my forehead

“We told you to be good, stay safe”

“I told you I would, I promised.”

Very well done! I enjoyed the rushed atmosphere it had. The imagery was very clear and you could picture every scene vividly as it shot past you.

I like how you wrote and describe some things with only a word which made me imagined the happenings in this poem. It's refreshing but this gives me goosebumps haha well done!

[Quinn]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Thank you very much. It was quite a while a go now and I thought I should really face that it happened.
