When I die
Don’t be sad
It won’t change a thing
And I’m not coming back
If you care so much
Lets be happy now
Together
When I go, don’t pick pretty things
Sweet petaled flora
Piling the dying on the dead
Instead, plant me something colorful
Make sure it gets water, and sun
When I leave
Don’t whisper angry should-haves
Or wish you’d let me know
Start writing
I would love to hear from you

Help a stranger, or someone you hate
Commit yourself to something
Quit a self-destructive habit
When I’m gone
Talk to me
I’ll listen
Think about things that make you cry
And be braver than you are numb
Pray, even when you've stopped
Believing or think it’s dumb
When I’m done
Don’t march in black, or be scared to use my name
Celebrate your own vitality
Tell stories and remember
I hope I made you laugh
Drink and hug and live
And say to that creeping specter
That ever looming doom
To *******
Not today
Don’t hold grudges
All love comes from forgiveness
Of self
Challenge your ideas
It’s alright to be wrong
After me
Keep living
When you are empty
When you are down
When your winter soul is a frigid void
Feel my mitts on your tense shoulders
And the warmth of my arm’s cocoon
Swim in my eyes
Let me heal you, let me soothe
When you doubt it most
When there is only sting and ache
I will be with you
I will love you
You will never be alone
