Other Side

By Maya M

What is on the other side?

You believe what you want to believe

and worship these beings that can’t

be seen.

These tiny miracles that fuel belief

with stories that add to the mass of

the wealth

Your mind absorbing all this information

sitting, waiting, hoping time will tell.

Blind faith with no questions, because

once you question you go to hell. .

But these ”lost souls” who get condemned

the moment they open their eyes,

cause everyone has a path

the second the sun may rise.

And when the dreams are crushed

and tears form in your eyes,

you will start to question

what is on the other side

Your body shuts down,

Everything is black

nobody knows,

‘cause no one comes back

And even if there are stories told

about these people who witnessed the unknown

the mind plays ticks on the unconscious

to fill in the gap that was left unopened.

So when everyone dies

and your loved one cries

they are left asking

“Do you think they made it to the other side?”
