I look down and I see
My body lying there,
Cold, Dead.
There is no noise
But I see the flashing lights.
I see all the people gathered,
Like a party,
Thrown just for me.
I notice my parents,
Their eyes filled with tears,
But not of joy,
I wonder why?
Then I feel a tug,
Like a rope around my waist
Pulling me up,
I’m not ready so I fight it
I sink closer to my body
I hear a voice telling me its time.
“time for what?”
I reply
Time to go.
The tugging begins again.
I’m not ready,
So I fight it again.
I fall closer to my body.
I feel a pull.
My vision goes dark.
I open my eyes
And see my mom.
I take my first breath
And taste the smoke in the air
My first thought?
I have just left the
Perfect, Blissful
Heaven,
And re-entered the
Pain and Despair
We call life
And I couldn’t be happier.
It wasn’t my time.
Only I can decide.
