I’m a man writing his own eulogy Simply because no one knows me better than me; I’ve told myself no lies, I put up no mask No hiding behind a façade, no questions to ask: So when I speak on my behalf just know it’s all truth I won’t just mention the highlights of my youth; Sure I’ll talk about the birth of my children But won’t leave out the bad, I mean we all sin: I’ll talk about my rough patches and my depression How I failed constantly, but it wasn’t a loss Just A Life Lesson: I’ve never claimed to be a perfect person I’ll say And follow it with but at least I ******* tried along my way: I’ll quote my favorite songs so you can have a better perspective So you can know the man writing his eulogy, it’s him being honest nothing selective; I'll apologize to my friends, family, and those I let down Just know I wish we could have shared one last laugh and one more round:

Eulogy
