Before I Die
Before the metabolism slows and
With the decline in food and water and
Before the dehydration and lack of energy, before I lose my appetite,
I'm on a quest to find what life is before my soul escapes my flesh
I'm tired of breathing like an intermittent moment, premiering death in a flash,
Before the angels carry me to heaven, hoping to make it past purgatory into a Godly territory.
I envision better days before my final days
My therapy did not require chemotherapy but the toxic in my veins requires cytotoxic
I need spiritual intervention more than a jihadist
I am possessed by evil spirits and ceasing to deal with the ordeal,
I know it's hard for your mental to grasp this fatal reality but I'm rapidly fading,
Inconceivable I know, I'm running out more rampant than a matchstick
I'm holding a matchstick standing next to a gas tank,
My body is feeling numb, my soul so void, I don't see tomorrow
It's blank!
It's confirmed I've got 6months to live
It's confirmed I've got 6months to leave!
Before my body gives in,
I wanna give my all to the world, a final penmanship anniversary
Write some of my greatest pieces and give them away for free,
Do some good before I squeeze and let the bullet flee,
release it and shelter it in my skull.
Before I let my wings spread
Before I ascend with the angels
I forgive myself for all whom I did wrong
Before I die!
