My Judgement Day.

by Victoria   Jun 12, 2012


I was always told when you die...
You meet your maker eye to eye,
All your wrongs you better have an answer for,
If you want to enter heaven's door.

Today came way to soon,
My heart sang it's last tune,
I stood waiting to be viewed,
Hoping he was in a good mood.

My hands uncontrollably shaking,
I didn't know this was going to be my waking.
I stood in this long line,
Staring at the 'Judgement Day' sign.

My turn came too quick--
I felt like I was going to be sick.
walking before him...
lights went dim...

His eyes peirced through me,
There was nothing he couldn't see.
Looking me up and down,
He shook his head, his face had a frown.
I was so curious to know all that he thinks,
His eyes never did once blink.

Maybe he saw all my flaws....
Suddenly he came to a pause,
His voice so intimidating, he spoke aloud,
" there is a lot sweet girl, you have endowed. "

He was right so far,
I held a million scars.
"How would you judge your own soul?" he spoke.
I looked at him almost confused as the silence I broke....

"I may not be a saint, but I am not the devil,
I'll fall somewhere between both of those levels.-
Mistakes, I made.. plenty for sure-
some I still wonder if there would of ever been a cure.
I think I have a heart too kind for my own good,
more than anyone --really should....
Are some things only wrong because we are taught certain ways?
Which religion is right when it comes down to which God to praise?
I've struggled with truth, whats wrong, whats right...
And it was one hell of a fight.
I came to follow what made me happy, I set my own beliefs.
Let me tell you, that-- was the biggest relief.
So you can tell me I'm damned to hell,
or believe I'm under the devil's spell...
I know that you know inside my soul,
it did play each and every role.
Tell me, Lord, you are the JUDGE ...you decide...
where you think my soul should reside?"

    Wow, Tori, this is really great. It seems like it answers alot of questions about how God would react when he sees ones flaws and then, you wonder if he will forgive you for your past.

    I really love the ending, it is like you are admitting that you are not perfect, and though you arent, you still know that it is God's choice about where you end up. This is amazing and easily sends chills down the spine.

    Very thought provoking, judgement looms at the end of a life in the thoughts of every mind I suppose. How does a healthy beautiful heart, soul and mind weigh their existence against a decaying body. It makes us search through all the realms for possibilities. Perhaps the thoughts of judgement lives for a reason of balance to keep a life in check as it approaches its end. Good write.

    The truth remains clear, as water. There's nothing truer than God's word. Outside the Truth, life is struggle. Difference is clear, when Truth is known. Nothing serves right, outside God's rules. The judgement begins, even now. From our actions, we know our stance. Him who prepares well, cannot fail. It's a choice, to live right for God.
