ending

hope i gave you something
that will last when i'm gone.
i tried,
but the doubt is here now.

never knew how much i asked.
now i understand.
but the world will not allow,
no matter how i plead.

i am who i am,
here i was born.
i don't claim to be different...
everyone is, if you really know them.

i hold no interest,
and the future is not mine.
the saddest irony,
i only loved life
when it was nearly past.
