Notes From a Dead Author

I write my poems as if I have already died

I write as though I am detailing my life, rather the lack there of

I musn't seem too lively, for I have died

If I were alive, then my writing would reflect such mediocre happiness

I can't write about something I have never felt

I have died...

I am dead and gone

Even though my mortal body has decayed, my words will live on Forever

When you're dead, you have a different appreciation of your life that once was

You realize that there are so many things you wish you had done, and some you wish you hadn't done.

Those that are alive haven't been able to truly see life as it is

When you have died is when you can truly be happy

All of the dead and dying authors can understand that life is a beautiful thing

All of the dead and dying authors can experience true happiness

Those that experience 'happiness' whe they're alive are experiencing a false happiness

I know my words may seem controversial to many, but all of my fellow dead authors will understand my words

They can understand the feeling of dying

They can understand the thoughts of losing everything they have worked so hard for

They take my words to heart

Because they can tell just by reading the author's work, whether or not they have died
