I have died…
I have questions.

Have I done it right?

Did I die right?
Did I die protecting what I love?
Did I Die fight for what I believe?

Did I live right?
Did I love with all I possessed?
Did I fight will all I had?

Did I leave right?
Did I leave behind a legacy?
Did leave behind a story?

Did I dwell right?
Did I laugh till I cried?
Did I cry till I laughed?

Did I being beauty into the world?
Did I banish the horrible?

Was I able to look past both,
Beauty and horror to see the inside?

Was I a teacher or a lesson?

A model or a warning…

Did I fail or succeed?

Did I do it right?
Got both the idea of this and my other death poem from this book I’m reading. As one of my favorite charters is dying he wonders if he has lived his life right, wondering if he’s a failure. Guess I felt really inspired by that. Though I kept rewriting this one I feel like it’s missing something. Advice is welcome please.

Oh and the other poem I mentioned in at the link below.
