My Legacy

I came to earth with nothing but my mind 
And look at all the knowledge I’ve left behind 
Nobody could predict my rise, but you all witnessed my fall 
But I’m proud to say that in everything I wrote I always gave my all 
And as long as there are people who want to learn 
My work shall never be forgotten 
So when I reach my demise and my soul is worn 
Don’t cry ’cause through you my legacy will always live on.......
