I am seeing stuff.
Either good or awful.
Is it because I'm sick in bed?
I'm in the dark.
Sometimes I feel quite cold.
Sometimes I feel lost.
in an undisclosed location.
Fire blazing at a distance.
People are talking.
Kids are playing.
A wonderful place,
It looks like home.
But I am sad.
I'm in tears.
But you cannot see them.
My heart cries.
But my soul tries to be at peace.
With what I don't know.
My flesh appears to be migrating away from me.
Pains throughout my body persist.
When will this end?
Is death approaching me?
God, spare me.
I still have the best plans on Earth.
