If I die today, 

Would my flesh still yearn?

Will my stress still live?

Will my eyes still burn?

Will I remember my pain?

Will I remember my shame?

Will I still feel heavy?

Will I understand being sane?

Will this all go away?

If I die, today?

Will this all disappear?

If tomorrow’s not here?

Will I procrastinate through my death?

Will I feel the weight lift off of my chest?

Will I escape everything?

If my eyes never open again?
