I was awakened by the sound of sirens blaring into my ears 

I was lost and scared, not knowing what to do, I feared.

The acrid smell filled the room as I struggled for air 

Slowly suffocated as the thick black smoke encased my lungs; this was it as I was aware.

I tried to run, but I couldn’t move, as though I was trapped 

There was no way out, and that was a fact.

I crawled up into a corner trembling with fright, it was unbearable,

the only thing that could save me was a miracle.

Lights flashing everywhere blinding me,

no matter how much I pleaded, I could never be free.
