IF YOU’RE READING THIS, I’M DEAD…

 

if you’re reading this, I am lying still 

stiff and still like a steel 

I have lived a fulfilling life 

I’m so over all the strife 

if you’re reading this, I’m no longer blinking 

time stopper has stopped clicking 

I lay still drawing my last breathe 

death is no longer a threat 

If you’re reading this, I am going numb

worthless ambitions have made us dumb

the real essence of life we ignored 

frivolities we adored

if you’re reading this, I’m about to exit 

they say death is nothing but a transit 

life goes on in our absence 

why wear pride always with your presence 

if you’re reading this, I’m near rigor mortis 

you should see it in my optics 

don’t cry for me, weep for yourself 

with time, we will all go off-the-shelf

if you’re reading this, I’m dead 

a long time ago I cut my dread 

life offers too much peace from comfort 

it all boils down to an unknown fault
