Legacy


Who would I be

Without ambition

Without hope

Without dreams

Without goals

Would I matter

Could I live with not mattering

I need to matter

I can’t not matter

I need to be an entity remembered

Long after I’m gone

 

I need a legacy a way

Remembered

I need to exist once

I am dead

I can’t just stop

 

I need to be more

More than I ever thought I could be

And without ambition to achieve

To be more

More than yourself

What is the point in living

Without a future remembering you

Why bother now

I need to leave a legacy

I need to be remembered

I

Refuse

To

Be

Forgotten
