Keep Them Well (Edited)
I truly can’t presume to know
What most will say after I go,
Nor can I boast, or pray that they,
In grief or joy, might think of me,
Then toast to my finality.
How can I predict these future terms?
These unspoken hurts, these empty words.
Instead I hold, my only hope
A solemn belief, memories told to cope
Of me with them, and them with me
Will keep them well, let them be well
And remain fond, distant reveries.
When I’m Dead...
"She Was So Happy"
"She Didn't Have And Cuts"
"She Loved Living"
"She Never Showed Any Signs"
"I Don't Understand"
"Why Didnt She Get Help"
My Friends, My Family
None Of Them Know
Of The Skeletons In My Closet That Shall Never be Found
At Least Until I'm In The Ground
I Know The Signs To
Why Don't You Understand
That It's Easy To Be Happy
Or At Least Act Like I Am
So When They Find Me Dead
No Matter If It Was Because I Slit My Wrist
Or Hung Myself, Drowned, Jummped
Or Overdosed On My Meds
Just Know That You Don't Deserve To Doubt
Since If You Would Only Looked Into My Eyes
I Would Still Be Here Now
Wouldn't I

Oh I swear they will write ballads of how Athena whispered battle formations in my ear and Ares bloodlust ran through my veins, of how before I marched to war Persephone braided flowers in my hair while Aphrodite painted my face so my enemies made no mistake that I, a mere woman, cut them down in their stead...they will write books upon books that when I spoke the mount Olympus rumbled in accordance breaking the silence that buried my ancestors and how when I marched lightening trailed before me lighting the way...girls will gather round the fire and tell tales of how when Hades came for me I clenched my jaw and bore my teeth leaving no satisfaction of an easy death
