Before I die

Before I die

A Poem by Mbali
"

Everytime we choose safety, we reinforce fear.

"
The place is dark, so deep and drenched
My heart palpating, my body so sweaty
Realizing its nothing, but a nightmare
I jump with fear, for the things i have seen

Its quiet in there, echoes of your voice
shadows everywhere, but no one is visible
I just kept staring, to see another fellow
round and round i turned, no one was there

In circles i walked, scared of my own steps
Up and down I looked, the walls were falling
The tunnel so dark, but still you see shadows
Is it a movie or mystery, I kept wondering as I walk

Far away i see light, and the walls started shaking
My feet stood still, i can not take another single step
I call mom and dad I call my siblings names, i called all names I know
And A weird sound came out so loud, don't be a fool you are here alone

Shaking, shivering and sudden tremors, my own body felt heavy
I see fire and water at the same time, I see land full of rocks
I fear where to go and then I screamed, and then i thought am I dead
In a minute or so I felt cold, I breathe in deep to release the tension   

I turn around and look up, I see a beautiful sky
Then rain start falling, thunderstorms and lightning so scary
I run to hide under the rock, my heart felt what if the rock fell
Weakness all over i felt, with fear my heart bit stopped

I walked a step and down i fall, i look round i see heaven
Oh poor me so bad i have lived, sins i have done so plenty
Don't know if I am good enough, for God to grant me passage
On my knees to ask forgiveness, was too late my time is up

Then i see shadow and the door open, I see light and no one else
I open my eyes i turn my face, its six o'clock my watch says
where am I and what happened, on the floor beside my bed
To drown the fear that woke me up, I stood up fast for a glass of water

I think of my life and the things i have done
I don't know if the good i have done is enough
With fear deep within i kneel down and say
Its just a dream before I die
