Beggar My head rests under a soft pillow, but my body is engulfed in strong, warm arms. I'm safe. I must be under angel wings because I've never felt safe before. Did I do it? I ask myself. Am I dead? Did I finally take the shortcut? No, I scream, no, I can't be, I’m not done. I'm not ready to die yet. “Sssshhh, Beauty, I got you. You safe,” I hear the voice. It's familiar, welcoming, but frightening at the same time. I wanna run from this person, but I don't wanna leave. Why? Will I hurt him too? No, I don't hurt anyone. I scream, “I’m a filthy, dirty beggar. Filthy dirty beggar.” “Wake up Beauty, you need to WAKE UP,” The command has my eyes fluttering. I take a deep breath in as my body sighs with unaltered relief. I'm not dead. I'm still surviving.
