Gone and Forgotten

they wanted someone more responsible
hardly anyone noticed my absence
my demise was quite unremarkable
I offered absolutely no response
imagine they laugh a whole lot less since
they failed to understand the real me
unencumbered and completely carefree
spread my ashes to the southernly winds
I know exactly where I want to be
the end is a start, excitement begins

There is such a fresh start feeling here, it made me feel like I was a spirit, laughing as I floated into the sky.
