Sand in my eyes,

Sand in my mouth,

Sand in my ears

And sand up my nose.


Clouds of grit surround me

As the sun beats down,

Heating everything around me.

I can feel my skin blistering

From that heat.


My eyes sting from the salty and rough sand

That has blown into my eyes,

My mouth is dry

As there is no water left

And I haven't eaten in days.


For what seems like forever

I've walked

Through this hellish desert!


Not knowing if I'll ever be rescued,

And not knowing how much longer

I will be able to last out here,

Without food,

Without water,

Without hope for help.
