This piece might get pulled because of the title, but if it doesn't. I want you to know I am okay this is poetry pure and simple

Don't mourn for me when I'm gone,
I lived my life, I sang my song
Life was indifferent, bad and wrong
But still I tried to carry on

Kept the faith when night was stark
Cried my tears within the dark
Never let on, my heart's deep mark
On my childhood pains, I hark

Don't care too much, for I was here
To leave my mark ere I disappear
I've loved and lost, but life is drear
And nothing! Nothing, keeps me here

It's true I loved you from the start
To you I always gave my heart
But life's not kind, when we did part
I couldn't go on, didn't want to start

I don't want to see you hurt as I
bring pain, to those who comfort  try
Although I tried, to learn to fly
Just crash and burn and lingering sigh

I don't want you to cry for me
Now my spirit has been set free
From this world of tyranny
True freedom, in death I've found the key

This message has been ever long
But to tell you is not wrong
Please accept your grief, move on
Don't mourn for me when I'm gone

Whoa!  This was beautiful, sad, and true.  I have, at times, as most of us have, had these thoughts in my mind, at one time or another.  

I am glad that you are ok.  This was a pretty heartfelt message.  Had you not included your disclaimer, lol, I'd probably have thought there really was something wrong.

great poem, got the meaning across well.

it allows people who have never experienced those feelings a true meaning of what goes through peoples minds when you experience a moment of despair.

do you have a copyright on that disclaimer cause I had an equivallent piece pulled when I didnt put it in  

(oh, and rightly so as well, just in case any moderators are reading LOL!)
