Mar 2017
My heart is aching
As the earth thaws from Winter's
Cold embrace

Spring is a time
For new life. New beginnings
Yet I am stuck here in the same place

I yearn to see a world
In full color
Like I did when I was younger

Never feeling the shame
And the painful things
That the emptiness of this world brings

What is this life?
It's meaning...
If not nothing, in the end.

I'd rather die
Than lead a full life
And never leave anything behind

If I live beyond tonight
I want my life
To overflow with meaning

All I want is for you to remember me
