Dying By Myself

I once was told I was going to die alone Then I looked at my contacts of my cellphone, On my table laid my remote control And in front of me sat my dogs food bowl. I read my emails and my text messages everyday And every night to God I always pray, I also have my friends and my church family as well And many books and magazines in my book carousel. I keep all my luggage that I need is in my closet Weekly into my checking account a check I deposit, In my closet are the clothes that I enjoy to wear I picked them all out with thought and care. I sleep as late that I want to sleep No bad thoughts or dreams do I ever have or keep, I enjoy the foods that I prepare or buy to eat I even enjoy saying hi to strangers that I meet. Yes I live alone and all by myself And yes I don't need no one else, Never do I argue and never ever do I fight And never do I have to prove if I'm wrong or right. Never do I trip over or on someone else's things Never on promises are their attached stings, And never ever am I ever running late And never ever do I have to wait. Every morning I always go out for a walk With neighbors and friends and strangers I always talk, And I've never found an animal that was a foe Even my back yard I share it with doe. Yes I might be all alone when I die But, because of that reason I will not be sad and I will not cry, I would rather be all alone in the ending Than be used and hurt by anyone from the beginning.
