Before I am dead!


waking up drenched in sweat


realizing it’s nothing but a nightmare


I get up to drink a glass of water


to drown the fear that woke me up!

sins I have done plenty


I do not know if the good I did is enough


to grant me a passage to heaven


or worse, born again as human;

never cared for what people thought,


never worried about those who left,


never a minute I spent crying over split milk,


what had to happen, had to happen!

what I was yesterday is what I am today,


yet people think I have changed, I wonder why!


I take life as it comes


no expectations and no demands!

with the guillotine waiting at every step,


uncertainty looms large over tomorrow,


I fear I need to live every moment


of today before I am dead!
