BLOG40-goodbye

 

 

Farewell

 

I'll take all my secrets with me and I will leave my soul behind

A testament of my life, as a man who was once alive

And though my time may be up, and my journey may be done

I'll live on in their memories, as the man who was just one.

 

If I should depart, this is my last farewell

To be reborn again but not in a cell

To laugh with the happy times, to cry with the tears

To revisit the moments, that shaped all my years

 

I've been living life on the edge, taking risks and passing tests

After I say my goodbyes, nothing will be left

After I leave and go, what will they dream of me?

That I am a second to none or I was living hopelessly? 

 

I've made mistakes along the way, done things I'm not proud of

But I'll take them to my grave, buried deep beneath my face

When they speak of me, will it be with reverence or disdain?

Will they see me as a hero or a villain or maybe just insane?

 

why we fight to stay alive; we die and be buried under the sun light 

But sometimes it feels like I'm just holding on dear life

I've seen the good and the bad, the dark and what’s right

And one day I will be out of everyone sight

 

When my time comes and I'm laid to rest

Just know that I did my best, despite what is said

When I leave this earth and say my goodbye

Let my soul wander through the fabric of time

 

Return me to the places that made me who I am

To the streets, to the people, to my childhood land

Let me relive those moments of innocence and fun

Where the only worries were if will I see the rising sun

 

Before curfew use to hit and it was time to go home

But now the world is vast and I feel alone

But as time passed by, I found myself on a different path

Trying to do what is best and create something that lasts

 

I am trying to articulate and encapsulate my feelings

So I can write about what gives me meaning

When I’m gone I want to be remembered by my loved ones 

That I was a man and everything I did was in my plan

 

So, I write and I write, day and night

Trying to capture my inner sight

Hoping that my words will resonate with you

And bring a sense of meaning that's true

 

When I pass from this life, I want to leave a legacy

Of inspiration and hope, a lasting memory

That I used my words to paint a vivid picture

Of the beauty in life, the love and the mixture.

 

I love to feel alive, to breathe and to create

To paint the world with words, to change and to debate

I want to leave behind a legacy, a piece of my soul

To show the world my perspective, my unique role

 

And when my time has come, and my story is told

I hope my words will live on, forever bold

I'm searching for the words to express my emotion

Hoping to capture my thoughts in this written devotion

 

My pen becomes a brush, my words a painting in motion

A canvas of colours, a portrait of raw emotions

Black and white paper, or my grey expressions

Writing my story so you can form an impression
