When I Go

The moment I leave this Earth, I want to be remembered by anything but what I became.

Put a merch table filled with my favorite things, memories and laughter as currency.

Trade bracelets. Turn off the lights. Fill the space with neon glowsticks and lava lamps.

Blast all my favorite songs, and sing out loud.

Bring out the mozarella sticks, and the dinosaur nuggets, and all the ice cream from Dairy Queen.

Pets are allowed. Friends are too. Everyone will be welcome with a hug and a "Who are you?".

Let each other be seen. Be known. Be heard.

Everything I could never be.

When I go, I'm gone.

I don't expect to remain in any way.

Please cherish the memories and the laughter. The friends you've made.

It's how we see each other that lives forever that way.
