What I Leave Behind

In a way, I don't care if my life is sad;

If people look back on what I've accomplished, what I've achieved, when I was happy, and be met with

Nothing

Nothing good enough, at least.

But in the end, while others are stressed working for a legacy that means nothing when you're truly gone, I've already made mine:

I want people to look at my life as if it were tragic. As if I should've gotten a chance.

I want them to grieve for me. To feel sad. To feel hurt. To feel as though my life was unaccomplished.

Because by not living, I have helped them live.

Because to live is to feel.

And what they feel

Is what I

Leave

Behind.
