Leave

Everyone wants to leave in good standing
 
Everyone wants to feel they did things right
 
Everyone wants to leave a legacy
 
Most wish to leave in their sleep at night.
 
It's funny when i look at my character
 
I want to say i gave it a good try
 
I want to say i always took the high road
 
but if i said that, it would certainly be a lie.
 
I hope i've done enough to rest in peace
 
i hope i've done enough to make you proud
 
I know you can't see inside me
 
You only hear my thoughts out loud.
 
I have met some wonderful people
 
i hope their lives i have touched
 
just know that when it's my time to leave
 
I love you all so very much.
