I see no escape, just an imposing fence.
The numbing pain I feel is now so intense.
I feel a surge of pressure, rolling like a wave.
Is this terrace taking me to my grave?
 
It’s time to close my eyes, I’m slipping away.
Silent prayers and goodbyes, it’s time to say.
Darkness descends, the sun shines no more.
I’ve given up all hope, no more fight in store,
 
‘This one is alive,’ words I can just make out.
I am lying on a football pitch, chaos all about.
Carried to safety, from the crush I was freed.
I owe my life and survival, to a hero’s deed.
