Please Remember Me

I thought I was all that. Thought if I wanted to get it I could. I thought I was on top of the world. Thought everything I did was good. So self-centered I am. Look at me, I'm da bomb! I loved all the attention. I loved myself more than mom. Hey, it was okay to cheat. It was okay to steal. Did anything I wanted to. Anything that I feel. On top of the world, looking down at all who despises me. I laugh at all of you who are down. Who cares if the best things in life are free? I am better than you all. Just look at how I flow. If you think otherwise, then you know where you can go! Don't tell me about love. I had my heart torn in two. I don't love them, nor myself, and I certainly don't love you! But suddenly my world came crashing down. Now I see the light. My life is now in danger. A head-on collision I had in the night. I can see my own blood all around me. My eyes are getting dim that I cannot see. What will happen now? No longer is it all about me. If I could see my enemies now I would tell them that I love and forgive them. I would tell them, "Though you hate me, I'm still here when you need a friend." I can see my mother crying. I then tell her, "Mom, please be strong. I feel life slipping away, so hold me in your loving arms." "I'm sorry for the pain I caused you. I wish I could turn the hands of time. I love you my mother; tell the family I'll see them in a better place and time." As I slowly die, I look up to heaven above. I then start to pray to the One who gave me all His love. "My El, my El, I'm sorry! Please give me another chance. What I did was wrong. I know my life is in your hands." "One last thing I beg of You as I die here in this street. When You return to raise Your saints, I pray...please remember me."
