ALMOST FOREVER By Jasen Sousa

ALMOST FOREVER


My friend,
everything must come to an end.

This is my shot to be known
throughout the galaxy,
when it comes time for me to put down my pen,
please don’t be mad at me.

We all must die someday,
for now we have no alternate answer.
I imagine immortality,
sketched every sentence, every stanza.

I did everything known to man
to make something of my life.
I followed my heart into the future
and everything I attempted, well, it just felt right.

I believe
I have created something
that will never die,
that’s why I am able to accept my misery.

Keep me in your heart,
let me live on through your children.
With your help no one can break down
the monumental structure we are building.

Almost forever,
I’m almost there.
