"November Sky"

"November Sky"

Many years ago
On a cold November Day
My life was changed forever

The day was like any other
Another day at school
Another day of pain

As the day went by
I felt overwhelmed
By the day

I just wanted to go home
To get through the day
Little did I know my day had just begun

The bus ride home gave me some peace
A quiet time to reflect
But my peace was ready to be shattered

As I stepped off the bus
I saw no one around
So I made my way home

As I made my way down the hill
I didn't hear a thing
I didn't see a soul

But suddenly my life was shaken
As he grabbed me from behind
I felt myself falling hard to the ground

I felt my breath leave me
I couldn't find my voice
All I could feel was fear

I tried to block it out
To make myself empty inside
My thoughts held me prisoner

When the act was over
I was silent as a leaf blowing in the wind
I never saw the face of the shadow

As I sat shakeing against
That November sky
My voice came back

As I started to cry
It started to rain
That November sky cried with me

So everyday in November
I look to the sky
And think about the day we both cried

My life will always be filled with fear
And with pain
And that dark November Sky
