Floating
Bright white light
I don't feel the pain anymore
No longer sitting in blood
I feel light
Painless
Can you hear me? they ask
I try to move
Paralyzed in place
I give in to the darkness
Someone is shaking me
I open my eyes
White all around
Where am I?
She's up! they shout
I see I am surrounded by my family
Am I dead? I try to ask
Nothing comes out
You almost died, the docter said
Almost?!
What went wrong?
I was ready to die
Then I find out that I am still alive
I close my eyes
This is too much
I wake up to you
You say what I did was stupid
Stop feeling sorry for yourself!, you shout
I want to cry but I don't
I can't shut your words away
You leave but I replay what just happened
What happened?!
I thought I would leave the pain
But once again I was wrong
I am back
Back for good
