People
by Loretta

People always told me what I thought
When I would die.
Or what will be kept inside.
Well I’ll tell’em this…
when it’s my time…..

When I die….
Don’t shatter tears.
Of mine…
And Instead of crying
Just let me hear…..
The people laughing,
There won’t be
no more pain and suffering.
So start laughing…

Because it hurts
when there is Pain and suffering.
People let me die.
BeCause I won’t survive.
This world of mine
Is made up inside
BeCause when I was little
There was nothing there to strive on
That’s why I saw People that
kept dying off.

When I die ………
I want to laugh……….
BeCause there be no more
Pain and suffering

People laugh, when I die
Cause there won’t be
Pain and suffering.

Laugh until you realized
That the laughter is what kept me going
The sun was shown it
So was I….
So remember the laughing days
Years started showing
When your fully aware
Remember me …….
By Laughing
And this is what I’m showing……
What made it fun while I still fought
While I lasted on this earth
And my sought…….
laughter
Because at the end there was only me and you…….. ……………!!!!!!!!!Who were in Mirth!!!!!!
