A year has gone by I was on that train I heard the blast But I was riveted to my seat I could neither shout nor move I was choking Like I had swallowed my own tongue A feeling of numbness gripped me Everything went blank Later I woke up in a hospital bed Anxious doctors peering into my eyes To look for some signs of consciousness I slowly stared back at them I still could not speak Then the tears flowed freely And mother cried out ' she's alive Thank God she's alive
