The Corpse

 

The shots rang out

And I fell with a thud

I was dead,

For I could see myself covered in mud

I felt an urge to float, away and away

Above the skies,

Above where the clouds lay

I was in Heaven

The sun shone brightly,

And I nervously walked in

I was greeted with cheers,

And gave a slight grin

I had everything I wanted,

And I wasn’t being taunted

I rushed down below

To see my friends and family

All sitting and crying

In front of the corpse

That was supposed to be me.
