If I Die Tomorrow

If I die tomorrow,

do not mourn my fading soul,

for I've been broken all my life

and finally, I'll be whole.

 

And if I die tomorrow,

no longer bound to Earth am I

for I'll be on the winds

using my wings to finally fly.

 

I used to think

I was everything

but now I know

I was wrong.

I'm not important

and I can't believe

it took me

so long

 

to realize that a shadow like me

fades in the morning light

and to realize that no one cares

if I am ever alright.

 

So if I die tomorrow,

don't say I mattered at all;

I know I don't 'cause no one

ever comes when I call.

 

And if I die tomorrow,

and you hear a lonely cry,

just know that was my final

lonely goodbye.
