I am dying soon
I don’t know when and I don’t know how but I am dying soon and will be away

That feeling when you know you might not get to see another tomorrow 
So you appreciate everything you can see, smell or touch today 

So you can remember all that was
So you dont forget the day 

If I return, will I have deja vu
Or will I forget my entire existence and will it be put on display 

Will I be laid to rest in peace 
Or will they dig me up like my ancestors and say hooray

I am dying soon 
I hope when I go it will be at some ease  

Will it be unexpected 
Like getting diagnosed with an incurable disease 

Or will someone try to take my life 
With something I did not foresee 

Whatever the case may be 
Hopefully I found all the missing keys 

If I get to start over 
Maybe it won’t be with all the abuse and extremes 

Maybe I will get to just live 
And feel the beautiful day and everlasting breeze
