If I Die Tomorrow

This is the first thing I've ever written on my own (not for a class), but I was at my great grandmother's funeral when I just felt like taking the first step. I don't really know what else to say...

 If I die tomorrow, I hope everyone wears

Yellow and orange.

I hope they are reminded of the sun,

Which can burn for forever.

Forever until it burns out.

 

If I die tomorrow, I hope no one cries

For me.

I hope they remember my faults,

My sins, and my failures.

I hope they do not lift me up where I don't belong.

 

I did not achieve anything in this life.

I watch TV, play games, and avoid my work.

I did no great deeds, no Joan d'Arc.

One of my greatest shortcomings: I don't follow through.

 

I hope there will be no life in the afterlife.

 

But if I die in seventy years, will everyone wear black?

My thoughts may change, my actions improved

Maybe I'll have done a thing or two.

 

In seventy years, many people I know will already be gone,

I want to go out with a bang

Send me away to my waiting friends,

Smiling back at me as they grab my hand

Embracing me with love

 

I will hope there is life in the afterlife.
