If I Were to Die Today!

If I were to die today,
my heart would break into infinite pieces
for all of the things I wanted to do, but never did.

If I were to die today,
I would give you what is left of my dreams to chase
away the nightmares of adversity, to replenish
your spirit from the ever lingering anguish and despair.

If I were to die today,
my soul would no longer be restless in this
unpleasant world and I would finally find my place
among the heavenly bodies of stars in the zenith

If I were to die today,
I would no longer be discouraged or ponder the fact
that I am not good enough, because through all
of my observations and listening, I have
gained enough wisdom, strength, and courage
from you to know the absolute truth.
