when I die
will there be a heaven or hell?
will my sight fade, my hearing stop
will I leave this Earth for good?

notice how all of these are questions,
and none of them are answers
but I suppose I will find out soon

everything I have ever known
will be gone
I will never see a sunset
never run in the dark with friends

or will i?
how does this all work?
how could I be nothing?
how could everything keep going?

all my life I have only seen the world through my own eyes
it feels like my own personal place

so why do other people get to keep going?
how is it fair that the clocks will still turn, the world will continue spinning?

but for now I will try to wait
to live out the life I've been given
I know sometimes it's hard not to throw it all away
