as i lay dying
                                            AS I
LAY DYING
As I lay dying      
Looking for those last words to speak ,
And that special hand to hold 
As I lay dying
Is there a spectacle to behold 
of all that I ignored
As I lay dying
 hearing the last
words Of their  wisdom,
 is there still something
I could know?
As I lay dying 
Breathing hard to breathe again 
Believing I still can make a difference 
As I lay dying 
Trying hard to walk again 
Forgiving life that gave me so much pain 
As I lay dying
Still, motionless, with my eyes closed
In anguish , I plead with my soul 
As I lay dying 
Thoughts flash across my brain,
My entire life just passed through in a matter of few
seconds 
Some people entered, so many people left 
The story, whose chapters I just read 
But those moments were so much longer
The feelings so much intense 
Was it just an exaggerated melodrama 
 I just lived in a few
seconds ?
As I lay dying contemplating
How far did I reach? How further could i go?  
All my life I had been running
For  what? I still
don’t know
To reach that unprecedented destination
A rigorous never ending marathon,
I just sprinted in a few seconds ?
As I lay dying 
Thinking of what was, what is and what will be
 what I did when I was
living, is that what you do when you are dead? 
As i lay dying
When was I alive? When will I be dead ?
When was I alive? When will I be dead ?
As I lay dying 
What is life ? and what is death?
