Important Things

When I’m gone
Everything will be gone
Hope is a narcotic
Appreciate the moment
Sorrow destroys peace
Think and move
While now is now
Sleep and dream
Wake up refreshed
Pleasure is a narcotic
Pain destroys peace
Appreciate feeling
The mind functions
And when it’s gone
Everything is gone
Don’t be sorry
