To Everyone

When I die do not cry,
For it will be a happy day.
No more tears, fears, and no more pain.
When I die, please go on.
I would want nothing more but for you to stay strong.
You see, I can’t see me being 80 years old sitting on my porch watching my grandchildren play.
Alright, here's what I’m really trying to say.
I hate this life I’m living,
I wanted to die.
No more loneliness,
No more pain,
No more tears I have to cry.
I sit in this room half the day.
Slowly but surely, I was drifting away.
Away from myself, family, and friends.
And since your reading this I guess it’s the end.
I loved you all, but hated the person I became.
Living a life fake, and full of shame.

So now that I’m gone,
Do not cry.
I have no more tears, fears, and no more pain.
I had everything to lose and nothing to gain.
I loved you all, don’t worry we shall meet again.
