"(Death) & Rebirth"

I am just pasting this poem from my MySpace blog just because I haven't blogged for a while. It's funny how you think stuff up in your head and finally you wind up with a poem. Some background: I was traumatized in a car accident when I was 4-5 years old. I was in Special Ed after waking up from my coma.


*(Death) & Rebirth" by Julio Bonilla

I am a ghost
I see my accident from a bird's eye view
Even though I don't realize,
I am asleep forever.
Bound to wake up on the 7th day
" You will live" the voice said.
That is what I hear in my head as I lay in bed
I awaken from what feels like an eternal sleep-
"rebirth."
I still remember a name,
from then on
Parents and me know the name of the game
Die!
Was the course I was going to take
now I live, breath, and feel,
I have so much life left to shake
off. There is still hope for me.
I am not dead yet!
I will rise again to see that love is beautiful,
there is no perfect woman in this world;
only pretty women with harsh pasts,
Love lasts
forever.
It doesn't end there.
Knowledge is power
I tried to inject it into the guys
I knew in high school
Some listened,
Others acted like fools.

On the last day
Graduation:
The whole world stood at attention
when I spoke the words
that burned
below the depths of ther souls.

"Never give up! Never give up! Never give up!
There are angels everywhere."
You just have to seek them out.
