If I died today
I’d be satisfied with my tiny life
feeling that I tried things
my own way
there’d be some bills to pay
few things to give away
and the hope your anger
wouldn’t stay
knowing we worked at capacity
making our own mistakes
what felt like cruelty
were lessons with other names
if there was will involved
much as we got caught up
in something more than us
I just hope it didn’t cause much pain
