IM NOT DEAD"

by alton dodson   Aug 4, 2012


Im not dead because i hear the birds,
the songs that rocks my soul and sing about peace
Im not not dead, i just lie still,
resting my head on the judgemental ground
Im not dead, my body's just cold,
the ball of depression in my chest no longer burns.
Im not dead because i feel the wind as i raise up to the heavens.
Im not dead beause i see the empty vessel my soul once called home.
Im not dead, Im reborn. Im not dead because For once i feel Alive.

The weight on my back is finally gone

    Clever...this took an unexpected turn. Only your former body is dead but you live on as will we all. You write:

    "Im not dead because i feel the wind as i raise up to the heavens." I pray this be so.

    p.s. I see two "that"s in line 2.
