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
