Emergency Landing

if I was given a miracle

would I feel shame

surrounded by people

going through pain

that continue to suffer

without someone to blame

with no scapegoat to find

still hope for a change

as if somehow relief

comes from changed scene s

but even with closed eyes

it’s hard not to see

simple words heard

is all it takes to believe

people are hurting

people are suffering

some people think better

others less trusting

which is why I don't know

so please don't ask me

because I thought I was healed

but I continue to bleed

so when my oxygen masked dropped

I put it on first

but I think it's the actual breathing

that's causing the hurt
