There Ain’t No Grave




I’ve walked around thinking that I was living the life
When in actuality I would’ve been better off dead
No this isn’t another suicide poem or one my ramblings of how I hate my life
To the contrary this me being reborn
Releasing my past
Laying down in the graveyard at night and awakening not only in a new day but with a new outlook on life
As the warmth of daybreak covers me I hear trumpets sounding
A call to arms
I stand waiting to glide into the sky
My wings have not sprouted yet
I am late for the sky….
Heaven has been right above me for years and seems like it is close but a long walk
Am I ready for the journey?
No one said this would be easy but then again anything worth having comes with a price
Is it really that much to ask for me to give up these worldly aspirations?
The reward is higher than the risk
For I will have eternal life
Rather than continuing to take out payday loans on my soul
Because when judgment day comes I will need to pay in full, no installments, no written off accounts
I am ready
Do with me what you will Lord
I am yours
