Hey mom, please don't be sad
I'm just going to sleep for a while
I've had this heart disease
Ever since I was a small child
You knew back then this day would come
That one day I would just slip away
But mom, you know that I'll be here
And I just wanted to have time to say
Tell daddy that I always loved
The picking and teasing that he did
Tell brother that I always enjoyed
Playing with toys when we were kids
Tell grandma that I'll be waiting
For her to come and be with me
And just look up at the blue sky
Where you'll probably just see
That I'm so much better now
I'm not suffering with pain
I wouldn't change a thing at all
If this life I'd live again
... remember me.
Author notes
Hm, I'd only hope to be able to say what I'd like to when I go.

This is so sad and bitter sweet. We all hope to have something to say when the time comes. I hope this implies all you hoped you could ever say.

heart disease is a bitch... quite simply.
couldent you get a transplant or something though?
meh, your issues are yours, i dont want to be troublesome. i send my simpathies... thast all i can do.
but great poem in anycase, i really enjoyed reading it! its full of saddness and dispear, yet also full of an underlying courage in face of annihalation. there is a second world out there, ive seen it... once... so know that it 'si' there... and i hope you find it -

Nah, you're not being troublesome at all.
And it's not something that will kill me soon as to say.
It's a disease that will kill me in the long-run.
I could possibly get a transplant, but by then it depends on how much damage there is on if they can give me one or not.
All in all, I'm just here to live and love.
So whatever happens, happens.
