When I am Dead
When I am dead I wish to never age.
My memories, I wish to not betray,
My life is nothing more than a blank page.
My thoughts were black as death and full of rage,
My father drank, and drank his life away.
When I am dead I wish to never age.
My notebooks, filled with words, feel like a plague,
In my stead, saying things I want to say.
My life is nothing more than a blank page.
At eighteen I first stood upon a stage,
Learning life was nothing more than a play.
When I am dead I wish to never age.
I bust my ass for a minimum wage,
The job is shit, I do not want to stay.
My life is nothing more than a blank page.
My world feels like a fucking songbird's cage,
Who, singing, mourns until her voice decays.
When I am dead I wish to never age,
My life is nothing more than a blank page.
