Is this a paradox  or my personal pine box
Am I having nocturnal thoughts or just seeing my eternal lined cot

So what now should I stay or should I go
Again, I'm lost and don't know
Was it the drinking or drugs
A fight or a slug
Or perhaps  just salt in an old wound

Will the afterlife  move fast,
or at a snails pace
Again, I'm lost. What is this place
Was that a face or a reflection of my own demise
The worst parts of me the deceit...the lies the distant void in de eyes

Aimlessly wandering,
continuely wondering
If those closest are internally crumbling
While externally rejoicing
With a sudden thunderous crash
paired by the brightest  of lights
Those  thoughts roll away
As the past begins to fade

Ahead I can see the gates 
But they're not pearly like they said
Instead, they're blazing red
With cautionary signs reading
Falling angels ahead
And sleep paralysis demons dance merrily
So this is it for me
This darkest of places

But with a jolt, I suddenly  awake
From what was my eternal sleep
But as I look around ....wait
There must  be a mistake
I scream out, not a sound I make
It's not up for debate
The lid closes  on my wake.

Silence........Silence
I'm trying to distinguish  between  my internal thoughts and the dirt hitting my eternal  cot as I'm stuck in this paradigm.
Just let me rest with my eyes cover with a pair of dimes.
