Clearing My Conscience

I get this weird feeling
Growing up inside of me
Or is it releasing?

I realize suddenly,
That something is escaping me
Then I see this misty figure in front of me

I see my ghost and I ask her
"How did this happen?
Why are you here?"

She replies,
"Your conscience is unclear,
You need to get something out of the way"

As I start to look deep within myself,
I realize I have no idea what she is talking about
So once again, I ask her
"What is this I need to clear up?"

She responds with,
"Only you can figure this out,
But until you do, I cannot return"

So I search beneath my hard outer shell
And I look beneath my soul
Trying, looking evermore, for this thing
I need to clear

It takes hours and hours
Days and days
Weeks and weeks
Years upon years

On my death bed, I finally realize
This thing she was talking about
I get straight to the point
As quick as I can

You see, this problem lying within me
Wasn't something to be seen
This thing lying within me
Was how to say goodbye

When I was sure I had said goodbye
To everyone I knew
I asked her to come,
For I was surely Heaven-bound

She came back to me
And it hurt a great lot
But once she was back where she belonged
It relieved all my pain and stress
And I was up in Heaven, talking to God
