As I journey into the all-so-bright Light, from the dark,

I think to myself, How did I leave my mark? 

Recalling past troubles, feats, and good times,

I realize I wouldn’t give any of them up for a dime

All of the woes, tragedies and such,

Made me who I am, and for that I thank them much

For who are we, but the product of perseverance?

A fact while alive, I did not grasp its coherence

The cold, cold dark of the infinite void,

Most would give everything, simply to avoid

I embrace it with pride, knowing my life was well-spent

Recalling all of the paths, in my life that I went

Down, down, down, falling, falling down

My smirk of pride, quickly turns into a frown

All of those whom I loved, cared for and adored

Realizing that all of them will be left at the Door

As cold as the dark, tears run down my face,

Recalling those close to me, whom I have disgraced

Remembering the quarrels, comments better left unsaid

Their love for me, it seems, went over my head

My fears finally quell, the tears do subside

As I wonder, What is on the other side?

Will there be a Heaven, if yes, is there Hell?

Was my life really one that was spent well?

An eclipse of Darkness, between myself and the light,

A person, it seems, as dark as the night

As I look into His face, realizing I have arrived

Do I only now know, what it means to be alive
