When I Die

i'm going to a place
a very peaceful space
no more pain and no more worry
no more struggle no more hurry

no more wars, no more violence
only the stillness of the silence
no more weariness, no more stress
just the slumber of eternal rest


when i die......
i will lie.....
in this earth
of my birth

when i die

growing sick of this life
sick of pain, i'm sick of the strife
reality is not as i would wish it to be
and it tends to get the best of me

but i'm moving on before life is gone
you know i realize a life isn't very long
soon i'll be in the arms of death
but now i'll suck up every breath

life should be a cherished thing
not knowing what this life will bring
life is fleeting, life is short
life is a struggle you should not self-abort

some people check-out early
some people do well to survive
but you're living is only a sliver of time
you've been dead so much longer than you've been alive

grasp these moments and live to the fullest
in a fraction of time you can bear to be witness
your time will end sooner than you think
then you'll have the calmness of unending darkness

when i die......
then i dry.....
into dust
and in a gust
i blow by

when i die
