My Poetry Book: Finding Who I Am

When I'm Gone

When I'm gone don't mourn too long

I don't want you to miss out on the things that make you, you

I can't enjoy the things that make life worth living so live them for me

When I'm gone don't forget my smile

and don't get caught up on my pained face while I was in my last breaths

Maybe I'll smile in my last seconds

Just please live!

I know it will be hard but don't ever forget that I loved

I loved the people I hated

I loved the people I liked

So please don't hold hatred or sadness in your heart

Hold onto the happiness we shared and continue to spread the happiness you gave me with others

You are a light to everyone you know so please when I'm gone don't let your light flicker out

Don't hate me for asking this of you

But forgive me for leaving ahead

Because I'm selfish and you knew this from the start

So I'll go ahead

Love is something to be shared and to me you are love so for me please share yourself with as many people you can

Sometime I won't be there to guide you away from the stupid things you pull so try not to worry me too much

Don't stop being you and never forget the times we shared

Don't stop being the life of the party

Share the fun we had and make sure to plaster that stupid grin on your face when you remember me

Because I can't handle your tears. I never was good at dealing with those and I still won't be when I leave

Be happy

Have fun

Love

And please keep a place for me in your heart

You'll always have one in mine
