Afterlife

Imagine a ghost 
in your life 
and it’s you 
imagine walking through 
around and over 
others always pretending 
just to avoid 
being there maybe 
not maybe so 
not really living 
more like that 
one long last
breath before all
others sadly end 
and then like 
that body quake 
right before sleep 
you wake up 
and suddenly realize
that not a
ghost am I 
but only a 
child who’s frightened 
and on you 
go living again 
in this afterlife
