in the last few seconds of my life, i had a sudden, incredible idea
I decided to write a list of things i had wanted to complete in my life
it was simple,
nothing complicated
just a list of regret and indignant memoirs,
Things i’d rather forget
memories i never had but wanted to obtain
thoughts that I wanted to allow to envelop my brain
before death
and - i guess it’s not a huge deal
i scribbled and scrambled as I scratched a preamble
“i died on this day”
and in the simplest of worlds my dreams would be fulfilled
the world would flock to me and my happiness would build
i would live the sweetest life before death
but regretfully, the world is not aware of a simple, quiet passing such as mine
i don’t really know how to expand on that, it’s too hasty
Breaky
You see,
that’s all that really is left
until my death, in a few seconds
I want to be remembered
I want to be loved
I want to be known
I want stories to be passed on
I’m worthy
I’m important
I’m not ready to-
I’m important
I love your poem Yalda! Such good writing and I love how the line just stops at the end!
ReplyDeleteVery smart idea. Better theme than most poems.
ReplyDeleteI though you used line breaks very well, and the ending was really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI like how the ending was very abrupt, it really helped to convey the message of the poem. It was overall an amazing poem, you're an amazing writer.
