Haste The Day
I hear whispers,
The snide remarks.
Their perception of me.
How wrong I am,
How less I care -
I'm not what I should be.
Oh, haste the day
When talk of me
Will cause no pain because
No one will say
I'm this, I'm that,
They'll just say what I was.

All these comments, these words can be so painful. And you put your finger on the irony of it all -- no matter what is said during a lifetime, there are few that speak ill of the dead. A very impressive piece, Bobi.

Thanks. Whether they speak ill of me when I'm dead or not, the point is, I won't care! :D
