A selfish death for another life

One step is all it takes

One more pill is all it takes

One bag is all it takes

One razor is all it takes

It's not your choice

It's your mind's choice

I don't believe in God

I don't believe in the afterlife

I don't believe in soulmates

Or true happiness

Or promises

But I believe in an ending

A place where one will rest forever

A place where I feel no sadness nor comfort

One thing I'd take to death

One thing that's kept me from death

One thing that's kept most strayed far from death

Remembrance

Will you remember me?

Will you laugh again

Smile,

Breathe

See

Hear

Walk

Run

Will you be able to live without me?

When will you be able to live without me?

Don't.

Don't live without me

Don't leave me

If life is one thing, it is being a remembrance

And if I can not achieve that

Then life is not important

I will walk through a beautiful garden of blue roses

And if in the end, I can achieve one thing

If it is not to be a remembrance

Then can it be another life?

If death themselves are kind enough

Then give me one I can be proud of

Give me scars

Give me pain

Give me war

Vengeance

Hate

But in the end

Let me remember something I never got to discover in life

Not love

Not staying true to oneself

But I beg of you so

Let it be the only person needed to remember me

Is me

Let me die saving someone

Let me die saving the world

Make me die doing something that will make me be proud of myself

Make me achieve something that will let me rest in peace

Don't make me overdose

Nor jump

Nor suffocate

Nor bleed out

Let me die in any painful way possible just make me happy by saving one

That is if the blue roses listen to me

That is if there even ever was another life

"Because even though I do not believe in God, nor the afterlife, I still hope"

So when I die

When I die the most pitiful and selfish way

Maybe they will remember me

Maybe they will forget me

I hope not

That is the most selfish part

So, let me live again

Give me pain

Give me a reason to live

Give me a way out of life again

But this time make it more worth dying for
