What I want

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-

  4. I 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.
