If I died tonight
Would the world stop?
Would anyone notice?
Would lines continue to drop?
Or would the words stop flowing?
Have I changed the world
Made it a better place
Guided someone's life
With some of the words I say?
Have they reached out
To someone cold and alone
Brightened up the day
Of someone that I'll never know?
If I died tonight
Have my actions changed the world
Somewhere on this Earth today
Will another pass on those actions
On some other day?
Will the words remain
For generations to read
Or would they die with me
And no one take heed?
If I died tonight
Would I go to a better place?
Or would I feel the flames
Of a fall from grace?
Could I see the world
From a vantage point higher?
Or would I serve an eternity
On a lake of fire?
Should I embrace death
Do I have an angel waiting?
Or do I fight
With all my might
To avoid a date with the devil?
If I died tonight
Would I travel in which direction?
I think I'll hang around
Until I can answer my own question!!!

you know, i can actually relate to this poem. lately ive had this feeling like i before i die i want to make an impact on someone. i dunno...but yeah, i know where your coming from with this one, a very good write. ill admit, i was thrown off at the beginning because i assumed it was going to be a typical "i don't care if you don't care if i die" type poem, im glad that it wasn't and i really liked it.
Haha nah I woudln't put a poem like that because even though I go through stages like that sometiimes, I usually get reminded how stupid I am being and snap out of it.
emotions are never stupid, its what your emotions make you do thats stupid. :)
for example: love. love makes you do stupid things. but you can help feel that sometimes...its worth it.
Yes love makes you do many stupid things. Like falling for people you would never have a chance with. But it's not the only stupid emotion.
