Wake up...

Who's the one that controls the pain?
As you try to search for that one great love,
and hearing no voice calling from above,
you start to wonder if the Almighty is there,
then you realize you're caught in a dare.
A dare from the devil asking to choose,
which will you pick? How much will you lose?
Then you see a hand reach out of the sky,
and grab you from the clutches of the prevailing night.
You look up to be blinded by the overpowering light,
and begin to breathe slowly, knowing everything's alright.
You wake from your dream with fear in your heart,
"What could this mean?" you ask, but your lips never part.
You try to scream out loud,
but you're frozen in place.
You can't seem to move,
and your heart starts to race.
You try calling out again,
but no one can hear.
Your words mean nothing,
they've fallen on deaf ears!
"Why can't I move?",
you keep screaming inside.
"Why am I stiff? Oh my God, am I paralyzed?!?"
Then you look up and notice your in a box,
and it begins to come clear.
This is no dream at all,
you've been dead almost a year...
