Aftershock: If I could tell you one story, then it’s the greatest of my life| Who knew a quote unquote “accident†would give me purpose| As I drive down a dark road there’s nothing by lights| Bright blinding lights, known to misconstrue thoughts| And in a blink of an eye my life was… accounted for| Can’t say changed because even though the road was dark| Doesn’t mean it was the wrong path| So a car’s now in my lane and I have to act quick| In a split, second I veer over to dodge the hit| I stayed out of head on damage but I still got the brunt| The front, of her van was too much for my two buck| Truck, but, I never lose sight, and never caught fright| As the barren desert that is her Outlander| Conquered my Lone Ranger| That stranger, sent my truck for a spin| Direct hit on my side and even my back leg gave out| But as I slid to a stop, the only thing I can think| Is the link, I have with He that is great| So He gets all thanks through the good and the bad| The happy, the sad, the pain when I’m mad| Who would have thought this drunk would take my tolerance| Follow this, I’m in the waiting room with no patience| And as the doc checks my health and tells me I’m fine| My mind, he forgets to tell me will be a little bias| Whether bias to hating God, or bias to believing| And receiving, the choice is up to me| But if I learned anything from this experience| My persistence, and through all the doubt and resistance| I see clearly as the waters that flooded the Earth’s sin| That the pain I’m in, hurts more than conflict that I endured| Therefore painkillers are the key, therapy is what keeps me Anxiety is what makes me better| The only letters that I wear on my sweater that is my life Are J and C…|
