Dead But Awake Poem by Asaolu Abayomi

Sleeping walking
Empty I look
Though I live
Yet i am dead
Where lies my grave?
That I can't even see

Who am I?
What am I?
How long have I wasted?
Where am I?
Alas I am at your will
But am I your will?

I look through life
I heard a lot
Faced with double decisions
One says the other is bad
Making me believe in it
The other says yes i am bad,
but let the creator judge
I ignored the other
I chose to believe

The other teased me
Where are you and your believe?
My belief brought me close
Whispers to my heart
You will live again
Again the other showed me, what I am missing
My belief held me tight and comforted me
The other then mocked me
He called me fruitless
He called me dead
But my belief held me once again
And told me
Though I be dead
But only dead to live
Though I be dead
I am only dead to rise
Though I be dead
But dead to wake
