In the Event

in the event
in the event that i dont wake up tomorrow 
please hold your tears and your sorrow
for i am finally free
no more pain inside of me
no more unexplained symptoms or signs
or wavering and trying times
no closed ears with eyes and looks of disbelief
no questions of my pain with no answers of relief
if im gone in the morning
please hold your mournings 
for when you think of me now 
think of me with the clouds
finally lighter than air 
im here and im there 
no longer sick
no longer a burden
free
