Remember Me (I'm Not Gone Long)

ven0m

Look in my eyes you'll see cold & no soul,
Like everything else it was taken or sold,
I was told sharpen my mind with the stone of life,
Twist it, bury it deep in everything like a knife,
Watch everything crumble & break down,
What else can be gotten from me in life's shakedown,
Murdered & left deceased, find my way, rest in peace,
As I increase & withhold what I have deep inside,
Waitin for the storm within to subside,
As I decide to confide what I was denied,
We divide alongside instead of taking in our stride,
I walk on the wrong side out of choice,
Unable to speak & unable to rejoice,
My voice lost in all the clamour of my thoughts,
Leaving me afraid, unsure, self protective & lost,
The cost of what it is to live in my own skin,
Or to be the real me when oppertunities are thin,
How can I hold on to be strong,
when all along everything I see around me's wrong,
I want them to remember me from my headstone reading two lines long,
My body may be dead, but my essence lives on,
Tattoos left like art depicting my lifestyle,
Scars on my body showing I lived my life wild,
Holes in my body from being riddled by bullets,
Nothing with-held from a life I led to the fullest,
Lived fast, died young & care free,
Living now on a higher plane now my soul's been set free,
Is it wrong to assume I'd die & fade away,
That'd I'd be another forgotten second from people's days,
Be displayed for those to mourn well past my prime,
Rather live forever as a memory until the end of time.
