Death Stories/Poetry

This poem introduce the psychological State of mind

The difference between life and death is simply the idea that in death life ends and in life it begins. However did you know they are one in the same?

We can't afford change, more like we are always changing, a hopeless conversations with ourselves.

Ask me to read you this story, but it not the story that you want to read, the expression of oneself tell many things, so wait patiently.

Forgive me, I don't know what I'm talking about I never experienced death, but I could, but death was never really far away ask of his name and read it in thought.

Dreaming thoughtlessly, it was merely a coincidence that you have brought yourself into this incident.

I bet it was simply an accident; driving your car into that fence, but now you see where you are... Nowhere...

But an empty space, white void of nothing... Is this death? No, your unconscious. Awaken!

Are you at the hospital? Stand up and look where you are... You find it hard to move but you managed...

Walk towards the mirror and be surprised! it was not you in the mirror but some other guy, but it was you seven years off your life!

Turn around and stare death in the face!
You see your body on the bed, motionless! You scream, but there was only silence. Death spoke and said "it time."

As you look death in the face you plead!
Asking forgiveness, another chance!

He looks through you and said "the dance with death long, but why should you be offered another chance?"

You think back to the time you yelled at your wife saying she should have done better! You try to explain to death you want to apologise!

But he refuse "death come to all and takes many, your love gone! Do you not remember the crash? Think back!"

You think, but then it hit you the accident was catastrophic!

Your wife was in the car as well as your children!
None survived and you can remember the look on their faces when they died!
You can remember them saying "why?"

You cried and you ask for forgiveness and to be brought to them, but death refuse and said it not your time to go.

"Why!" You shout!

Death spoke and said "you are not dead, but it time to awaken! Learn from your mistakes and fear! You brought this on to yourself, I'll come again another year."

You awaken in bed with the nurse overhead...

Only now you wish that you were dead.
