"WHEN I AM GONE" BY KARIM

Tell me, please

Will my foes still despise me?

How long will it take 

For my dear ones to move on?

Who will recall the struggles I faced to be myself?

Will I hear them honoring me in their words?

Maybe I willl depart too early

Before I live my life fully

Will they mourn me 

When I'm no more?

Or will they ignore?

I wish they will hold me in their minds

And treasure the moments we shared

I wish they will find some solace and bliss

And remember me with kindness and care.

Maybe I will leave too soon

Before I see my dreams come true

Will they miss me when I'm gone?

Or will they forget me like a song?

I wish they will keep me in their hearts

And cherish the memories we made

I wish they will find some peace and joy

And remember me with love

And not with hate.

The poet persona wonders the difference he will command when he dies. The voice wonders if his dreams would see reality before he dies, with also, people remembering his beautiful moments on earth.
