So Much To Say

Posted by Terrence Johnson

At a loss for words
Sound captured in the back of my throat
I can't speak
Don't know what to say
The doctor's statement echoes throughout my brain
Terminal
At that very moment
Life changes
Life that seemed so infinite
Now has an expiration date
Finality
Now having so much to say
People I need to call
Loved ones I want to embrace
Time is now of the essence
Funny how the threat of death
Makes me want to live
When all my life I've been living dead
Now I have so much to say
