I wake up and see the sun.
I get up and want to run,
Then hear a sound from behind me.
"Don't look back" Someone says.
"Your legs will want to fill with lead.
They do not matter presently."
I walk away from the sounds
toward new friends I may have found
He seems to be trustworthy.
"You've lived your life
free of strife.
Now run free.
To heaven you've arrived,
Be free, happy and alive,
free of melancholy."
I smile at him
start to grin
then I turn.
Behind me I see the distorted faces
Of people I loved of familiar places.
They're crying and grieving over my dead body,
Wondering why I had to be there rotting.
Was it the people that lead me there?
The drugs I took so free of care?
How did this happen, my loved ones cry.
The sounds of their wails because I died.
This can't be heaven, I'm not there yet.
Quickly as it came, I'm no longer upset.
"Say goodbye to you family and your friends
for life is not death but it twists and bends."
I smile, knowing I will see them again.
"I love you Stacy and I always will
You'd better stay put until
I can see you again."
