Poem -

I too will die one day

I too will die one day

One day I too will die
On that day
Memory will be  a memory
My loved ones will cry
And so will my enemies
Others will say she was a good person
And she lived to be remembered
Some will say Thank God that bitch is gone
Laying in my coffin l will reminisce, realise how much time flies
Pictures of my life will flood my mind
Rewinding back deep into time
Showing me images I had long forgotten
Faces I hid away and those l deleted from my desktop
All the answers to questions and puzzles l failed will surface like reminders of a date
Time l wasted
Dates l missed
Appointments l cancelled
Boys that broke my heart and the ones theirs l broke 
The amount of tears l cried
Days l laid in my bed depressed
Regrets I had things l could have done better 
Number of loves and friends l had
The nights l stayed awake waiting
Insomnia tormenting me
Travelling from city to city, country to country
The stages l performed in the applauds from the crowds
The appreciation they showed
The smile l wore as l bowed, my purpose fulfilled
Stolen nights in buses, trains,
airports on voyage, on tour
Broken ankles, too many shows 
sore throats too many performances 
 Back aches no rest
I will say yes l lived
From the smallest stages in the city of Harare
To the biggest auditorium in the city of Berlin
Stop And pause for a while
getting too excited here
 ohh well after all l do have time now, 
To slowly go through my life bank
So much to review and read through
One day l too will die
Too bad some will be hurt but l will be at rest
My fuel would be finished
My body overused and the expiry date would be due
I will lay down in peace no sorrow no stress
No insomnia, No late nights, No urguments
No sick days, No unhappy moments
No pain, No heart breaks
I will be home, complete with peace
Time, comfort and content
I will be gone but not forgotten
So many hearts l touched
And smiles l caused
I will be remembered for the good and bad
Either way I would have lived.
