When I die I wanna play
Back in time would go and say
Hey I know you there okay
I am too afraid to slay
I am too afraid to break
I broke anyway I pray
I lay on my side and wake
I just hate my dreams I pay
High cost and the cash will burn
I just turn my head and learn
To just walk away I earn
Nothing in return no words
To release this so absurd
You the only one it hurts
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Aye
You just made my day
Make smiles on my face
I wish you were fake
So my life be straight
Aye
You just made me break
Make cries in my eyes
I wish you were fake
So my life could die
Aye
When I die I wanna play
Back in time would go and say
Hey I know you there okay
I am too afraid to slay
I am too afraid to break
I broke anyway I pray
Aye
Aye

When I die,
I don't necessarily want to be
a legacy,
a story,
just someone with a lot of money.
I just want to be a memory.
Someone who lived their life free.
Someone who lived their life worthy.
Someone who made their life into a fun journey.
I don't want to be someone
who swam in money and fame.
I don't want to be someone
who thought that life was a game.
I just want to be remembered
for doing something for this world.
For letting my voice be heard.
I just want to be
remembered for being
who I really am.

When I die
I hope my passing disturbs
the universe so much
that even Atlas's knees quiver

When the time comes...
I want a large festival named after Mark Twain,
I want the streets to be cloaked in color,
I want peopleto ride in on horseback lightsaber in hand,
I want the wind to be whispering the best puns the world has to offer to the trees,
So that trees can laugh, giggle, snicker, and chortle with fluffy forest friends,
I want music of every kind playing across the living mountains and through the clouds and rain I envy,
I want it to rain so hard that persons of all shapes and sizes are forced to take off their heavy drenched clothes and just dance in their underwear, playing with glow-in-the-dark footballs with Lionel,
I want absolutely no lights,
I want the ugliest girl in the world to appear to be the most beautiful under the sun of the night,
I want everyone to come only by bicycle, skateboard, foot and any other non-mechanical way,
Not for the earth but because i don't like the sound smell of look,
But most of all...
I want to leave a legacy,
Not a huge one, just big enough to live forever...
In the back of one's mind,

I think about death
I do
Not in the gory suicidal way but in the
"one day I will die....hmmm" way
I've thought about my funeral
I don't want anyone to cry
I wasn't THAT great of a person
But as snarky (and sometimes full of it) as I tend to be
I know
The day that I die will be a sad day
I want flower seeds scattered at the base of my headstone and
my ashes scattered deep in the mountains because I loved my mountains more than anything else Nature had to offer
My mother always said if He can raise people from the dead then he should be able to put people back together from their ashes
So let me be cremated
I never liked the idea of my body being left to rot six feet under anyways
I think about who will be around when I die
I could go at any time so
whether or not my parents will be around to mourn the loss of their child is irrelevant
How much would I have accomplished?
Would I have made an impact on the world like I'd always dreamed I would?
I've thought about my last words
What sound will people hear as I take my last breath?
I hope it will be
"see you soon"
I wonder where I'll be when the time comes
What sound will people actually hear as I take my last breath?
Will it be filled with regret? remorse? happiness?
I think about death.
I do
And as I close this poem, I'll ask you this question
Do you?
