if I should die, think only this of me
I was always there when you needed me
But you couldn't see
I've helped those who drowned
in a sorrowful sea.
I've seen a lot of things
Been to a lot places
I've learnt life lessons
That I will never forget
I was nice, kind , sweet then mean
I was unpredictable
sometimes I was misunderstood
They never knew the real me
But most importantly, I
lived a life, way different
to yours.
if I should die,
please remember me.
