When I die
I want people to be brutally honest
None of that "She was the perfect daughter" or
"She's never done anything to anybody" shit
I want people to say something they have always wanted to say to me
No matter what it was
I want people to be brutally honest
Whether they can only write it down and whisper as they do so
Or if they scream out the truth aloud
I want people to be brutally honest
I want my dad to say that I did in fact disappoint him
I want my mom to say that she really did wish I would shut up sometimes
I want my friends to say that I wasn't as selfless as they said
I want people to be brutally honest
Because I don't believe they tell the truth now
So I don't want them to live with the guilt of not telling me something
When I die
I want people to be brutally honest
