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 Read more 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 **** off 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
