Been wondering for a while
What have I done in life
If I where to die today
What would my legacy be
Would I be forgotten
Or would my name be remembered through time
Not much could be said for me
I am a shy, easily forgotten guy
Living life like a shadow
Scared to make a name for myself
Just another who didn't make it
Just another forgotten with time
Just another with no Legacies
I will not
Roll over and die
And I'm tired
Of being a burden

Before
I was concerned
About my safety
Concerned about
My life

But now
I've pushed those
Fears aside
I will not be a burden
I don't care
The cost

I will not let
My family
Receive all the loss
All the money
It would take- all the money
In the world
Couldn't fix my problem
If there is still no solution

I won't put them
Into debt
Over my false hope

I won't forget
The things they said
And I will learn
My best to cope

I am a burden
And I walk with
These chains
But I will stitch
My lips closed
And bear with the pain

Should I stand
Or should I fall
In the end
Doesn't matter
At all

Because if I
Become a burden
To anyone around me
I would lose my sense
Of reality
I'd lose my chance
For living

I'm done pretending
