I’m Going To Die Trying

I’m Going To Die Trying

We all die one day it’s the ultimate thing that unites us all

There is no escape from death

It will claim us all in the end

What separates me from many is I don’t fear death

Death and I view each other as jilted lovers

We have pursued each other many a time

The other thing that separates me from the crowd Is I’m, going to die trying

Die trying to be a better person than I was yesterday

Until my dying day I’ll always be trying to improve

I’m going to prove the world wrong

Prove my naysayers wrong

I will be a better person, a better poet, a better son, a better brother, and a better friend

Trying is half the battle after all

All my life I’ve been a square peg in a round hole

Never quite fitting in

And I’m okay with that

I’m going to keep on trying until the day I die

I’m going to keep going on and on

Upwards and onwards

Until my dying day

I will climb mountains

I will tear down walls

And stigmas

I will build bridges

I will be the man I am destined to be

The man my father knew I could be

So, I’ll keep on going until my dying day

I’m going to die trying!
