Losing My Aunt
I fall into the darkness.
The flames of hell wrap around
me.
It's hard to breath.
The smoke suffocates me.
Then I see a hand from above.
I reach for the hand.
I see the light again.
My wings have spread out.
I'm flying and soaring through
the skies.
I'm in heaven and I'm happy.
I see her.
It's not your time she says.
I frown, but he hugs me and
says,
It'll be alright.
So I go back.
I go back to a life wondering.
Will it ever be alright.
