Realization

My mind is a maze
Constantly lost and in a daze
I had a realization one night
There is nothing after this life
This life is all we have
We need to hold onto those we love
Cause once we are gone
Consider this life done
I died once and there was nothing
Religion is a fraud
Beware of their call
Floating into the nothingness is peaceful
Because there is nothing
No one to tell you what you can and cant do
No one has the slightest clue
Wasting their lives miserable and angry
Just let it all go
The hatred, judgement, sorrow
Just let it all go
The pain in this life will pass if you let it
Don't resist
Just let it all go
Just let it all go
Just let it all go

There is an after life. My mother clinically died and she still had all her senses. She was at peace with no pain in the light and did not want to return, but the doctors worked on her bringing her back with a shot to her heart. Love is what matters in the after life. A warm welcome to Poetry Soup Michelle. Aloha, Connie

Our consciousness is all brain chemistry She was clinically dead but not brain dead The brain is a miraculous organ It makes each of us who we are I believe the brain tries to make our death easier on us by showing us something calming to ease us into death Kind of like when you go into shock It slows down everything to make it seem like the event is so much longer than it actually is or it speeds it up to have it pass faster Our brain is our "soul" is the best way to explain If I'm wrong I'll know when I'm gone for good I'm just going from my own experiences But I believe everyone should believe in something It makes life worth living And thank you for the warm welcome!
