I know not how to defeat my enemy. i know only how to defeat myself."


I never thought of it-

The idea of leaving-

Am i wrong for being scared-

For the grave is where i'm heading-

but when i go-

Make me a promise-

When i go-

Put something pretty on my stone-

A quote from a dreamer-

When i go-

Let the preacher hear the cry's-

Let him see the pain that is life-

For in every tear-

Let him have the humanity in his sight-

when i go-

Don't let me stay in the dark-

Visit me with the warm feeling of your footsteps-

for the warmth brings me light-

When i go-

Lay me next to My Beloved-

for i hope she will never have that burden-

the burden of living on- 

Living on without your love-

When i go-

Let there be music-

Not to celebrate my death-

Rather to celebrate my life-

when i go-

I'll go peacefully-

And when i am peaceful-

Then i will know-

That in my life-

I was useful.
