When I Am Gone

wish I could take control,
stop the pain that I feel, cry
it all out, run away, or just be still.

what would I do if I was going to die tomorrow, 
if he came to me in a dream,
would I go to heaven, will there be a place for me?

one day happy, but in the same day sad,
one moment angry, one minute glad...that is crazy!

why do I continue to torture myself,
 I don't want this kind of life for me,

when I am gone, will I finally have peace?
