Don’t speak highly of me when I’m gone, if you didn’t say it to my face.

Don’t cry for me when I’m gone, if you didn’t laugh with me when I was here.

Don’t miss me tomorrow when you didn’t need me today.

Don’t bring flowers to my grave, off you didn’t bring chocolate when I was here.

==

If I wasn’t important in life, I shouldn’t be in death.

If I was easy to ignore I life, please continue when I’m gone.

If I was unremarkable in life, forget me when I go.

If I wasn’t enough in life, let it be the same out there.

==

To my people I am a legend,

To my tribe I am the gift,

To my companions I am unforgettable,

To my students I am the mad one.

==

I may be easy to walk past,

I may be easy to dismiss,

I may be easy to judge,

I may be easy to forget,

Don’t worry I’m ok with all that.

 

==

I’m simple with simple tastes,

I just want to love and be loved,

I just want to know God and live for Him,

I just want to be true and free.

==

I cannot judge anyone because I have ignored some,

I have walked past many,

I have turned away from others,

I am just like those who didn’t know my worth.

==

I am no longer like that,

I am ruthless with my choices,

Selfish with my time and energy,

Focused in my endeavours.

==

I am enough, I am learning joy,

I am at peace, I am stabilising,

I am learning to love me fully,

I am more accepting of me.

==

I am enough because He is in me,

I am enough because I am loved,

I am enough because I am enough,

I am enough because I am ME.
