You said this world is not a home
It's somewhere to stay until I'm dead.
You said this crown is not a throne
It's just a place to lay my head
I know the world
keeps spinning, though I'm dangling by a thread.
I am too small
My life cannot mean anything at all.
Today is more than enough for me
Don't say that you don't deserve to be free
And please, when you're staring down
the barrel of a loaded gun
Remember me.
You said God knows I'm no prodigy
I'm just a weapon with a voice
You said life means nothing to me
I'm GI- property by choice
I know reality
is nothing without reason to rejoice
But I'm too real.
Those fuckers never taught me how to feel.
Today is more than enough for me
Don't say that you don't deserve to be free
And please, when you're staring down
the barrel of a loaded gun
Remember.
Today is more than an answer for me
Don't say that you don't deserve to be free
And please, when you're out on your own
staring down a loaded gun
Remember me.
Oh please, remember me.
Author notes
I wrote this for my love in the army who shipped out two weeks ago. He told me he didn't want his last thoughts to be ones of regret. I told him just this: Remember me.
