No! I Am Alive.
The smell, the ache, and pain filled the air at once,
Coughing hastily, I tried to take in a breath but choked due to the smell,
Struggling hard to catch my breath, I heaved deeply,
As a flicker of recognition passed through my eyes as I saw the shadow at one side,
Yes! Right there stood an unrecognizable shadow, calling out to me?
With the strangest vibe, the shadow stood,
Unmoving, it kept staring at me or something behind me,
It felt like it was waiting for someone or something to happen,
And the intense stare made my head turn hastily as I tried to understand,
Or was it to question why it kept staring my way? I can't say.
Opening my mouth, I felt the crackness in my voice as I tried to speak,
But no sound was heard. It was as if I was all alone,
But I knew wasn't as I could see and hear people's chatter,
But why does it seem like I am lost? I asked no one in particular,
Closing my eyes, I tried to remember something, but nothing came forth,
And I was left with cracking my head just to get an answer.
Patiently waiting to remember something, I was thrown off,
By the ringing sound in my head. Painfully, I tried to lift my hands,
But my hands were tied. What's happening to me?
I tried screaming again, but just like before, my voice was lost,
And right there stood the shadow with a hook in hand.
With its eyes on me, it smirked beautifully,
As if it was waiting to say the dreadful word known to mankind.
And it was then that I knew that death was upon me but I am not ready,
I still have a lot to do in life! I screamed, wiggling out of the bed I lay,
And then I heard it, beep, beep, beep the sound echoed in my ears,
Please, No! I want to live! I screamed.
But all was lost as I felt a strange metal upon my chest.
With each thrust to my chest, I felt weaker,
Weaker and weaker that I felt the need to sleep,
Just then, a memory struck me, and then I remembered,
I remember who I am and who awaits my return,
With a long breath taken, a single tear found it way to my cheek,
And then I heard someone say, you were dead some minutes ago,
No, I am alive! I said with a smile.

STOPHermoso, there will always be something or someone that will still motivate us to go on even if another while longer in life, we will all come to death at some point, we know when we are born but not when we die, thanks for sharing ♥
Gracias, amigo! That's right. There sure will be someone who motivates us, and we do not know when we leave the world.
Sigh
My mind was just wondering because it felt like you were talking about someone I known, someone I loved so much
Unfortunately, she is not a live anymore

;)
Yeah, it sure is. Thanks for stopping by amazing dreemer.
Death, a topic that many people detest discussing, yet it is the end of every soul. I felt emotional reading this poem. Though that stage of one's transitioning is imaginary, you captured the possible event of that period perfectly. Lovely done.
#dreemerforlife
Yes, it sure is the end for every soul. Thanks for your kind words, drewmer and for stopping by.
You are welcome
Sorry that this comment is coming late. You made me feel the vibes of what poem is should be.
