The benefits of dying young

I don’t want to live forever

I hope I die young

Unscarred by age

I hope I die young

Oblivious to pain

***

The moment of forgetting

The feeling of frustration

The pain of inability

The helpless infuriation

***

A loved one died young

Everyone says sorry

But instead I smile

Thinking of the days of his glory.

***

They didn’t end

Till the moment of his last breath.

***

I hope I die young

Untouched by the disease

Full of life and smiles

Doing what I love

Leaving nothing behind

But love, kindness and fond memories.
