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.
