When I Die


WHEN I DIE When I die, do not lie, or write RIP to eulogise me on your walls. because we have been at war. when I die, do not comment on my obituary post, because you always ignore my posts. don't bring me flowers when you denied me shelter at your tower. When I die, don't tell anyone you loved me, even in death, I know you hate me, don't becloud your laughter with cry.. When I die, just lay me to rest without the rest. don't drive my remains on a wheel cos I was never part of your will. When I die, don't bother to help lower me down because you never helped me up. just throw me down the way you let me down When I die, tell no one we are family because friends eluded us. When i suffer, you enjoy supper, tell no one about me when you hide life from me. When I die, let me journey alone, not in convoy of deceit, but alone like I have always been.
