Last Words of a Shooting Star

The day I die will be as sad as the day I was born
I will be a shooting star to the night sky 
I will be nobody, nowhere and nothing

A fate seemingly better than dying to live 

For I smile when I'm empty
I will smile when I'm happy  
And smile the brightest when I know the end is near
