How will you be remembered?

Cynthia novotny 1984 (Wilmington de)



When I leave this world one day
I hope I'll be remembered well.
please don't judge me by my past.
remember me for I am today.

I want to be remembered by you.
as an honest and loving human being
I want to feel respected and feel important.
by the people I truly really love the most

I don't want to be made fun of or mocked.
please don't put my name out there like that.
I just want to be loved and treated fairly.
just like everyone else wants to be treated.

I just think that the choices that we are making.
we certainly aren't always thinking straight.
but soon one day you will have your regrets.
one thing I know for sure we are only human.
