If I Were to Die

If I were to die today and I got to watch my life in replay, Looking back, what would I say? I wouldn’t be very proud, I kept too many secrets, That to someone, I should’ve avowed. I’d wish I took more time to pray, And I’d regret letting my life decay, If I were to die today. I’d see that I should’ve loved more. I should’ve loved everyone, even myself. I’d realize my heart was something I shouldn’t have ignored. I would be ashamed of every action I did to betray. If I were to die today And watched the story of my life, I’d want to look away. I’d regret letting my fears get the best of me; I’d be sorry I wasted all that time; I’d realize there were better ways to use my energy. If I were to die today, So would all my words that I’ve always wanted to say. I’d be sad that I held back, and let my words be delayed. I’d say I was a fool To ever let a lie leave my lips. I should have never been that cruel. I pushed the person I was away I’d see that I was the predator and the prey, If I were to die today. I’d finally see all dimensions of my beauty; I’d hate that I ever hated myself And I’d realize I never fulfilled my duty. If I were to die today, And watched my life in replay, There is so much I would say.
