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.
