MY HEAVY BURDEN | Write Out Loud

Shattered heart like broken glass,

I’m still picking up the pieces but I know it won’t fix the past,

I want to go back and do it all again,

The struggle doesn’t stop and I wish it would end,

I just want to blast off to hyperspace again,

Damn it D.M.T. where are you my friend?

Everyone says that life goes by so fast,

That shit is true and it’s kicked my ass,

It felt like it came to a screeching halt,

When my body and soul was beaten to a pulp,

If you don’t  believe it my scars don’t lie,

It’s so surreal what happens when the body dies,

The other side is amazing pure nirvana,

They told me I had to go back but I didn’t wanna,

They said “Its not your time your life on earth must continue,

Search inside yourself the answer is within you.”

I don’t understand this is a burden too heavy,

My chest dropped into my stomach and my mind is not ready,

Everyday I fight the question and wonder why?

I try to hold back the tears but I can’t help it and cry,

It’s the guilt I carry for still being alive,

God why me? Why didn’t I die?

Yes it’s true above the sky there’s a dome,

And just on the other side our spirits fly home.
