REMEMBER ME

Often times I think of the things I want to do that'll not only be good for me, but for my family, friends, and maybe even my future children.  I do want to one day give something that I can be remembered for. It may not be the cure for cancer, or the solution to end world hunger.. but I do want what ever I do to matter the most to people even the ones I dont know. I think my soul could be at ease when I'm laid to rest in my final days. I usually dont like to think that far ahead, and im comfortable with taking baby steps, but ideas and goals are fine to think about right?

I was told by my own family you cant get "cookies" or "trophies" for things youre supposed to do. I finally reached a point in my life where this is true. I'm doing everything I'm S U P P O S E D to do. Now i'm ready to think about the things I dont really have to do, but I want to because these things will matter to people when i'm not around. It'll bring joy to me knowing that i've made someone happy, or anything else significant in their lives. I hope with the career path that I take I can be able to help others launch their careers in maybe music or arts. My connections with people can open doors for other people. Maybe I can start an organization for children who come from low-income homes who feel like they shouldnt go to college because their parents cant afford it. I would love to show kids you dont have to minimize your education options the way I did. I would also love to reach out to girls who come from the same area I come from and show them its way more to life than the limited options that are put in front of them. Some of these girls decide that it would be easier to become a mom at seventeen, than a high school or college graduate. It saddens me that I didnt see much of a huge vocal female influence in my own schools so this is what the girls around my age would believe in. I'd love to be the person that helps these girls explore their life options.
I want to be remembered as the person anyone can use as an example and go beyond the successful

limits of me. I want to remembered as the person that always has love for everyone. The person anyone can come to and be inspired by. I dont have many people like that in my life so i'd love to be that person in someone elses life. I want my own career platform to be able to give back to those who arent there yet. It would be so beautiful to be at a wise age, and know that people take so much from me and use it constructively. The only trophy I hope to gain in life after my work would be to know I helped people as much as I could and I am loved for that.





Remember me. Dismember me.
Take all that I have left behind, run and flee.
After i'm gone, all that I have left is free.
Ill be content to know everyone is filled with glee.
Knowing this ill finally be able to breathe.
Girls my age will finally look up to me.
Take the needy and unfortunate on shopping sprees.
Thats all that'll ever make me happy.
Dont be sad please.
Remember how sweet my love was spread like
spring time honey bee's.
My time on this earth has taught me who to please,
only because these people matter the most to me.
This is my plea. This will keep me happy.
Remember me. Dismember me.
Take all that I have left behind, run and flee.
After i'm gone, all that I have left is free.
