What Happens?

When I die, what happens? Other than the physicality of it You know, The spreading of ashes and whatnot. My body isn't what I'm worried about It's me The thing that makes me ME My mind? My Atman? My soul? Will I be immortalized In some Kind of nirvana? Shangri La? Heaven? Will I be damned To an eternity of suffering In the pit For every mistake I have ever made? Or will I come back In another body? A human? A bird? A fly? Will I remember me? The me that's me now Not the me that's me then. Will I even exist? Or will I simply cease, Disappear, Sink into oblivion? Does darkness await me, Or does light? Will I even know? Will I even care? Should I be afraid? Should I be eager To get to that "other side" ? How do I know? Do I even want to? Is it bad to be scared? Because I am Scared to death... More like scared of death. Isn't that ironic? Scared to death of Death *This was inspired by a recent work by Mental Journey on this site, "What is Death". As I read it , I wondered how would it be to die? Thank you for the inspiration!
