This is one of my many poems from my book, "Versus From The Hollow Grounds". It is titled buried and is about waking up in a coffin and not knowing if I am dead or alive, or maybe even stuck in between…

Buried

Thump, thump, and another thump I hear above me

Can’t move, its pitch black and I try looking around but can’t see

Feeling claustrophobic nothing but death surrounding

Suddenly the thumping stops and I loudly scream

Is this a nightmare just another bad dream?

Paralyzed I feel something terrible happened recently

I’ve awoke in a casket, my mind breaking into insanity

Buried six feet deep alone stuck in this box

Nothing around me but maggots, worms, dirt and some rocks

Oh and let me mention the other corpses in their own coffins with locks

   Am I really dead or was I buried alive, was it a mistake?

If I’m truly deceased why do I feel so awake?

Shouldn’t my soul be at Gods gold gate?

Or is this my punishment, my eternal fate?
