Spoil Your Eulogy

don't let your funeral be the first

time people ever hear your true story

~ spoil the eulogy

by wearing your epic adventure like

it's a fluorescent ball gown every

single day of your existence

your life is a one-hit wonder that

will never be played again in

the history of everything

so don't hide it as if

were a B-Side single

I know it's easy to get bored

of this journey that you are on

but my love,

everything you have

~ overcome

survived

~ lost

celebrated

~ grieved

achieved

~ endured

contains the plot

of one of the most

compelling tales

the universe has

ever known

don't bury your

story in a shoebox

under your bed

for a eulogist to have

to dig through

embrace your story

like you are the only one

who can tell it

because, my love

you are the only one
