If im gone tomorrow
these words are all
that will remain of I
and if im swallowed
by my self absorbed sea
dont think
just read
this is my testimony
my diary of sights
which never you see
its always just another part
of this mystery called me
unravel it
may go blind
what surprise you will find
im quite simple
just sudden
fog in your eyes

How true, Jackal! All our words are a part of us, and very easily can surprise others while reading. Well written.

Very moving, Jackal, with such an air of sadness. I like.
