I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
'Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?
So if you're asking me
I want you to know
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So if you're asking me
I want you to know
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself
I can't be who you are
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are
My best friend posted the song title to this on my Facebook. Its crazy how much she knows about me. I've actually been thinking a lot about what this song discusses. Leaving behind something to be remembered for. Something that has mad a lasting impression. As an artist, I think about that every day. But even when I'm not thinking about it in an artists perspective, I always wonder if people are going to remember me in regards to my personal life. Like, if I dropped dead today, how many people would miss me and come to my funeral? I'm sure a lot of people think about this, but I kind of think of it on a daily basis.
I mean what is it that makes me special? I don't do anything out of the ordinary or unique. The only thing people will probably miss about me is my sarcasm and weird sense of humor. This blog isn't going to be very long because I don't have a lot to elaborate on. But basically, I am going to start making lasting impressions on people. Sure, some of them may be bad, but I want to be remembered for the things I have done. Most people (artists, musicians, scientists) have to wait until they die in order to actually be respected. Which is rather upsetting, but if they created a masterpiece, its better late than never.
