Can Someone

I watch time go by like it’s a rolling train. I try to wash away the pain away but nobody cares. I am in the dark but and blinded by the rain. My lungs seem really desperate for air. Can someone out there help me breathe again? I ventured out to a land unseen. Is this a dream or am I awake? How much more of this can I take? Never have I felt so helpless and alone. Can someone show me the way back home? There were whispers and then I saw a flame. I thought heard someone call my name. I wanted to run. I wanted to hide. I wondered if this was my time to die. Can someone save me from this dilemma? I had bitten the hand that fed me again. I found a room that had a mirror. In its reflection I saw my face young. Frozen in time with no place to run. Can someone get me out of this place? With the paddles of shock pressed to my chest. I was jilted from slumber and my eyes opened fast. They said I was lucky it was a heart attack. Another minute and I would not have come back. Can someone help me find a new heart?
