Before I Die

Before the metabolism slows and With the decline in food and water and Before the dehydration and lack of energy, before I lose my appetite, I'm on a quest to find what life is before my soul escapes my flesh I'm tired of breathing like an intermittent moment, premiering death in a flash, Before the angels carry me to heaven, hoping to make it past purgatory into a Godly territory. I envision better days before my final days My therapy did not require chemotherapy but the toxic in my veins requires cytotoxic I need spiritual intervention more than a jihadist I am possessed by evil spirits and ceasing to deal with the ordeal, I know it's hard for your mental to grasp this fatal reality but I'm rapidly fading, Inconceivable I know, I'm running out more rampant than a matchstick I'm holding a matchstick standing next to a gas tank, My body is feeling numb, my soul so void, I don't see tomorrow It's blank! It's confirmed I've got 6months to live It's confirmed I've got 6months to leave! Before my body gives in, I wanna give my all to the world, a final penmanship anniversary Write some of my greatest pieces and give them away for free, Do some good before I squeeze and let the bullet flee, release it and shelter it in my skull. Before I let my wings spread Before I ascend with the angels I forgive myself for all whom I did wrong Before I die!
