I'LL DIE ONE DAY

I DON'T KNOW HOW

I DON'T KNOW WHY

BUT I

WILL

die.

BE IT DROWNING

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA.

BE IT STABBED

BY A CRAZY SERIAL KILLER.

BE IT OVERDOSED

ON A PILL TOO MANY.

BE IT LOST

IN A SEA OF UNFINISHED DREAMS.

i'll die...

I KNOW I TRY

TO SOUND LIKE I

AM THE BRAVEST

DOUCHEBAG OF ALL TIME.

AS IF EVEN DEATH,

THE ULTIMATE FEAR

OF MAN AND DEMON,

CAN'T TOUCH ME.

but i cower every time

i ready for work.

I WILL CORRECT MY SUIT

SMILE IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR,

BRUSH MY HAIR THE SIXTIETH TIME.

ALL IN THE NAME

OF BEAUTY INCOMPARABLE.

TO ENSURE I LOOK

RAVISHING.

it'd be nice to die smiling

and in a suit

after all.

I WILL KISS MY WIFE

SOFTLY ON THE CHEEK,

REMIND HER I LOVE HER

AS ROMEO DID JULIET.

AND I'LL TELL HER SHE

LOOKS EVER BEAUTIFUL

EVEN IF SHE HASN'T SHOWERED

EVEN IF SHE'S STILL GROGGY

AND THERE'S A STRAY CORNFLAKE

STUCK ON HER CHEEK.

if she dies, please

let her close her eyes

knowing

she's the prettiest in the world.

I WILL WALK

TO MY OLD, RUSTING

PROTON SAGA AND PRAY

IT DOESN'T EXPLODE LIKE

IT THREATENS TO DO

TWICE A WEEK.

it'd be troublesome to

bury me in

pieces.

I WILL DRIVE ONTO

THE ROAD, ENSURE

EVERY SHIVERING ELDER

AND CHEEKY CHILD

CROSSES THE STREETS

SAFELY.

I WILL YELL AT

SPEEDING CARS FOR THEM,

BEEP MY HORN AT

EVERY UNCIVILIZED DRIVER.

it would be a pity to die

young and potent,

to never have left a mark

on the world.

to never be remembered.

I WILL REACH MY OFFICE,

GREET MY FELLOW WORKERS,

ASK THEM HOW THEY'VE BEEN

EVEN IF I LAST MET THEM

YESTERDAY NIGHT.

who knows if

they have any pent up troubles?

if i could save a life from being

self-taken?

I WON'T JUST

SHUT UP AND LET MY FINGERS

DANCE ON THE KEYBOARD.

I'LL TOUCH LIVES.

I'LL FIGHT INJUSTICE.

I'LL INSPIRE SOCIETY.

every life saved

is a second non-wasted.

THEN I WILL

DRIVE BACK HOME,

KISS MY WIFE

BRING HER CLOSE TO

MY LOVING ARMS.

AND WE'LL SLEEP

UNDER THE COVERS AND SMILE

FOR WE KNOW

WE BOTH KNOW

we're lucky to be alive.
