You wonder what happens after you die

You wonder what happens after you die
Do you go out with a bang?
Or do you simply die?
Do you cry and beg for more time?
Or do you accept it right away?
Are you in pain?
Are you not?
Are you sad?
Are you not?
Do you know when you are about to die?
Or do you just think you’re going to sleep?
Do you find death any different from sleep?
Or can you not even tell the change?
Are you in fear?
Are you not?
Are you in denial?
Are you not?
Do you go to heaven right away?
Or do you have to wait?
Do you go to heaven no matter what?
Or can you send yourself to hell?
Are you able to watch over your loved ones?
Are you not?
Are you watching us now?
Are you not?
You wonder how people will react when you die
Do they feel shock?
Or do they expect it?
Do they feel lost?
Or do they find their own way without you?
Are they in pain?
Are they not?
Are they sad?
Are they not?
Do they convulse and shake when they hear?
Or do they simply walk away unscathed?
Do they break down in tears and sobs?
Or do they find a way to keep it together?
Are they in fear?
Are they not?
Are they in denial?
Are they not?
Do they attend your funeral?
Or do they make other plans?
Do they miss you?
Or do they not even realize you’re gone?
Are they able to watch over your loved ones?
Are they not?
Are they watching them now
Are they not?
You wonder what legacy you leave when you die
Do they remember you well?
Or do they slowly start to forget?
Do they forget the sound of your voice?
Or is it forever lost?
Are they going to notice when you die?
Are they not?
Are they going to tell their children about you?
Are they not?
You wonder what death is
Is it a forever sleep?
Or is it not?
Is it the end?
Or is it not?
When you die will you be forever loved and missed?
Or will the only reminder of you be your grave?
When you die will you be held close to the hearts of those you love and left?
Or will you simply fade away because you were loved and lost?
