An Untimely Death

An Untimely Death 7/25/11



I already know of my untimely death
I will be young when I take my last breath
I'm not scared, it doesn't make me cry
It just makes me try harder to touch the sky


It's hard to explain, kind of like a dream
Those visions of the future that I so often see
I don't know how long it will take, if I'll make it to college
I don't know if I'll finally learn all of the wanted knowledge


I do think I'll be married, I can just picture my home
A library with cozy chairs and a map that shows where I'll go
It's not gonna stop me, I'm going to see the world
I don't care if I die a little girl


There's too much to see, too much to do
To worry about little things like what I'll go through
It's sad in a way, but happy just the same
I'm glad they don't listen to the words I say


I feel bad for not warning them, not telling of the grief
But then again, who will really miss me?
I won't be sad, sitting on my cloud
Jumping and singing my songs, finally clear and loud


I won't have children, I might not have pets
But to be happy, I'm doing my best
Not letting it get to me, this secret I know
I'll wait for my untimely death, for my time to go
