Collapse: Surviving Beyond & Back: A Poem
“I need a doctor!
I can't go this way..."
I felt death grip
as my heart gave away.
I couldn't awake
from the torment pressing on,
so I clenched
on the death bed strong.
I heard a voice say,
“There's nothing we can do.”
So I stayed awake
and did all I could do!
------------------------------------------------
but I started slippin' under...
I saw a light
coming like a tunnel.
"Grasp Harder!"
But I began to disembody.
Next thing I knew...
I was over a body.
I saw mom & dad entangled,
hysterical in tears-
a flat-lined screen,
my mom, in her biggest fear.
They were a wreck,
I couldn't understand the pain.
I was completely alive-
more than I've been.
Until it appeared,
a spirit- right then and there.
He said, "Now is not your time"...
... and I cried an angel's tear.
It dropped to the corpse
absorbed in it's skin.
Once again...
I was trapped in him.
The monitor chirped,
I felt a thousand stares.
My pain stricken body,
mourned my presence there.
I laid in agony.
I didn't think it was possible.
I awoke there to hear the doctor say-
“Impossible!”
