It was late on a Friday night,
The air smelling of dewy rain when I slipped into my coma.
I remember hearing a bang,
Then suddenly I am standing outside of my wrecked car,
By my limp body.
It is no longer raining,
The clouds and sky are starting to lighten.
Then, a variety of colors in the form of a rainbow appears.
I wait for awhile, to see if anyone will come.
Then decide to walk, and I follow the rainbow.
I used to do this as a kid for fun, to see if the leprechaun,
And a pot of gold would appear at the end.
Never having any luck before, today was different.
I walked and walked, then coming upon the end,
I was not sure what to expect.
It was a stand with a card on it, with my name.
I open it up, and suddenly see my life in a glimpse.
Then what my future has instore for me.
I see myself graduating college,
Traveling,
Getting married,
Having kids,
And being so happy.
After finding this at the end of the rainbow,
I had more power to fight.
So that is what I did, I fought and fought.
I would make it out of this coma,
And live my life.
After two long weeks I finally woke up, with my family by my side.
And because of that rainbow,
I fought to be able to live the rest of my life.
