Desert Storm

The wind is beating on my face
I can't seem to remember where I am
And I'm having trouble picking up my pace
Something hit me from behind

All of my senses went blank
I woke up on the desert sand
Was this some kind of mistake
I'm having a hard time seeing my own hand

My vision cuts out again
I have a sudden pain in my head
When did this all begin
I guess I kept walking while my head bled

Can it get any worse
I don't even know what direction I'm going
It all feels like a curse
The wind hasn't stopped blowing

I start to rapidly slow down
Maybe a little nap will help
I stop walking with a frown
What if I just call for help

Will anybody hear me
I'm all alone
Can anybody see me
Again I'm all alone

Do I even want to be found
Maybe I like not being seen
I don't even have to make a sound
It helps when everyone is being mean

I build up the courage
I walk further and further into the the desert sand
I remind myself to not feel discouraged
But would it hurt for someone to lend a hand

I hear a distant scream
Is there someone out there
I'm sure it's not a dream
Maybe I should care

It's a girl
She's hurt and scared
All I can see is a swirl
I can't say I was prepared

Maybe I can help
Everything around us begins to decay
I automatically let out a yelp
Before I blew away
