Dear Journal,
At 7:50 p.m today my handle bars containing my brakes let loose of the rest of the bike. Resulting in my fly off the bike onto the gravel and then getting ran over by the bike itself. The bike went over my head after my 2 foot skid on the gravel. The bike didnt land on me, but i dont remember. I am bleeding pretty bad in my arm, i got large scrapes on the right side of my belly so now those muscles are super sore and a cut on my face makes me talk with a lisp and have a puffy lip. I have more cuts, bruises, but i dont feel like mentioning them now. Im in alot of pain-- i just remember falling. It was in slow motion, as all falls are. I was in shock when my handle bars and breaks came off, and when i fell forward, i was like 'oh god, what is happening to me'. When it was over, i found myself laying on warm gravel with my bracelets and shirt messed up, and my neighbor looking over me. I was in too much pain to cry for my mom so I screamed for her. As i lyed there waiting for my neighbor to get my mom, i looked over and saw the gum i was chewing with blood on it. When I was being pulled inside i almost fainted from the pain and thoughts that went through my mind. Memories of years past and worries of the upcoming future. Once i got inside, i was sobbing on the tile. Now here I am, two hours later typing this. I want to cry, but i ran out of tears. I want to go to school, but im too messed up. So all i can do is hope, hope that everything gets better.
