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
