Poem
When I die I hope the father in heaven knows I’ve tried I lived life to the best Even with all the trife Not knowing all the answers To every question But always searched for truth Lived in my youth And hopefully I’ll die satisfied Preoccupied with my drive to wealth To relieve myself of this hell It doesn’t always stay a constant dwell I pray he knows I’ve loved with everything I’ve had Even when the sh-t turned out bad I’ve remained loyal to myself With my own inner wars Even if in the end I knew I’d be scorned I want the world to know I was a star waiting to shine Even when the light didn’t seem to be so bright Trying to leave my troubles behind Throughout this pain I constantly tried to play superwoman With a mask on my face Not knowing I was the one who needed to be saved In times when I felt I’d been betrayed Retained all sadness this world caused While my very happiness was put on pause I pretended to be unflawed To protect myself I put up a wall On the day of judgment I hope I’m forgiven for my sins I was only trying to “live” I want to be remembered as a survivor I played the game And played the cards as they were dealt Even with all the misery I felt I’ve been in love a time or two And I’ve been broken-hearted more times than a few There were moments when I forgot what I was fighting for Never knew for sure what my purpose of crying I just knew I was tired of trying I wanted people to believe I was strong Even when I felt weak I want to know a life where I do not suffer Where my own thoughts don’t get me in trouble My legacy I want the world to remember my face To say I somehow changed this miserable place!
