The Title Pretty Much Says it All...

Am I Alive or Dead

 
Am I Alive or Dead

Oh My God, what is all this I’ve just Seen
Was it real or just some kind of Dream

Am I now awake and in Disbelief
From this nightmare I can find no Relief

Did the fairy cover my eyes with pixie Dust
Is in a tale where I put my Trust

As I wash my face and the scales pull Back
I see I’ve gone a ways along this Track

Not sure where I stand or where I’m Going
How’d I get this far without Knowing

Nothing looks familiar, not a landmark One
How long it feels since I’ve seen the Sun

Dazed, Confused, Lost and Tired
Starved and Hungry from something lost Desired

Left or Right, Back that way or is it Forward
I wish I knew what I’m headed Toward

Surely this isn’t what I seem to Think
All is gone before I could even Blink

Wow it sure feels cold and lonely Here
As I wipe away the final Tear

What’s the time, is it night or Day
Hard to tell when you’ve feel so Betrayed

Sure didn’t see that coming this time Around
Like a thief in the night that never made a Sound

Hey what’s that light I see up Ahead
I can’t believe it, Dad's waiting just like he said.
