That Day and Before
Let me start before that day
About the bus, the two girls, and the trash can
My family drove past a place, I felt mystery from
I shook it off again, yes, again
One day, not even knowing her, on the bus
I thought “If there was an emergency
She would be the one to lead us.”
But I didn’t think she would need to, you see
Thanking to someone it wasn’t a river
Getting on the bus I thought to the driver
“I’m trusting you with my life, as well as my parents.”
Little did I know, that that would make an appearance
On the bus, the road curved, and we bumped
I never thought I’d hear a thump
Now, don’t call me a witch
But I wondered what would I would do if we fell into that ditch
“Take out the trash.” I thought on Monday
I didn’t want to, I was acting weird in a certain way
A simple task you see
But I felt as if it weren’t up to me
That day
I was a little behind
Forgot my mask
But walked with birthday girl, so I didn’t mind
End of the walk, that’s when she would ask
“What is the bus number?”
For some reason I thought “You won’t have to remember.”
“Late we almost were
Should it have been that way?”
Chills, I got, “Brrr”
But everything happened for a reason that day
Deciding where I should sit
In my stomach, a heavy pit
I picked a seat
But didn’t know I would be beat
With no homework to do, I played games on my phone
Next thing I knew out of the corner of my eye
Birthday girl was thrown
I didn’t know she could fly
As you see it all happened so quick, and long
It’s a skill or a trick, to listen to your gut
‘Cause your head can tell you wrong
