Death line

By pia leoncito

It was dark

My heart's thumping

Pulse thundering

Where am i?

I looked around

But my sight leads me nowhere

It was just dark

So dark,very very dark.

I can't see anything

But i do feel something

I was flying

In this dark place i felt like i was flying.

Am i dead?

Is my soul transcending

Why do it feel surreal

It was too abrupt

But who am i to decline.

Is this really my end

But i was just seven

Isn't it too soon

I did not even reach eleven.

I was terrified

Can't comprehend

It does'nt make sense

Why now,why me?

I was too young for this

Still puzzeled

But i need to be keen

On fighting for my life

I still need to live

Nobody's yet ready

For this sudden end

Then somewhere beneath me

I saw a light

I was hopefull

I was really eager to survive.

I open my eyes

Then i saw familiar one

My mom

With her eyes twinkling like a sun.

Too weak to move

But a sigh might be enough

To release the fear

And be greatful to God.

I was safe atlast

I surpass the deathline

I'm alive, i survive, i was alive.

Bewildered,

But dont want to questioned anyone

Gratitude

I was just too willing to give back.

Im on death line

But survive.
