A Final Farewell (A Poem In Case)
Fie!
Thou I die,
Know there were times
I uttered fie upon me;
Fie upon our pitiful race;
Fie upon our empty triumph's;
Fie! Fie! Fie!
Yet why did I cry
Out such hateful things?
From bottoms of my heart
I am incapable of answering.
For it requires me to hark upon
Revelation to answer.
I was born into a sinful world,
That I did not ask for.
Put in situations I did not ask for.
A body I did not ask for.
A family I did not ask for.
With a soul I did not ask for;
Since I had no right to ask for.
Yet blessed be the name of
Whomever did such deeds I
Asked not for; for He has been
Loving and kind that it happened at all.
Too long had my heart buried
The gall which flooded it.
I would be lying to say
That I had not long awaited the
Day I would pass away.
I have been too wearied by this life,
And my heart has never been able to
Stop bleeding from within the more I
Wandered through it.
But think not that I hated this world,
And all it had with my very being;
For I have found good in places lest
Looked in, and even in the hatred by
Others have seen a child-like innocence.
If my muse be looking upon this,
I thank you kindly for the times we
Worked thoughtfully together.
I was blessed to have dreamt of you,
To have been gifted with your grace from
Above. You have aided me to see the truth,
There is still love among this broken world.
Glad am I that you came to be with me,
For you have been the closest thing I've
Come close to holding and calling dear.
Now I fear, back to the stars thou shalt return,
Which orbit the moon in the sky.
Know I miss you as much as you do me.
Should my spouse read this,
If God has granted me one,
Thank you.
Thank you for enduring with me.
Thank you for being there
During the rough times,
The best times,
The sorrowful times,
The simple times,
And the complex times.
But thank you most of all,
For saying yes.
And though I know not thee yet,
These five words will always be true from me:
I will always love you.
And to my offspring,
If the Lord too has blessed me with any,
Know I was happy with you all,
No matter what path you took;
Whether sinful or righteous.
I may have been upset,
And sometimes disappointed
By ether your foolish acts,
Or my hidden shame.
Yet you are my blood all the same.
I hold not hatred nor lack any compassion,
For any of you.
You were a blessing to have.
And to those who I knew,
Whether in person
Or in the many 0's and 1's,
Thank you for even listening to me.
Even if it was only once or more.
I was happy in the sense that I could know
I existed and wasn't just some ghost.
And to those who helped me the most,
Words alone can't boast my gratitude.
Thank you for your advice and your guiding hands
Along the way we call life.
Thank you for helping me to become better,
Thank you for encouraging me to master skills
I had yet known I had.
And even to those who held resent toward me,
Thank you. Bless you.
Though this may seem like the end,
It is not. I know it is not.
Though there are times where I doubt it,
In the end I know there awaits something beyond
The grave, which many brave.
You too on day shall,
Despite what you convince yourself now.
And there I shall wait for you,
In the land Anew.
(Okay, I won't lie, I've been thinking about making something like this for a while now. It has been a constant fear of mine that I might just die one day and not even have the chance to say my farewells. Now, I know I have plenty of a lifetime ahead of me but better safe than sorry. All I say here I truly say form the deepest of my heart; thank you all, thank you for your time, and here's hoping to what the future holds).

Suspended disbelief- temporarily allowing oneself to believe something that may or may not be true, especially in order to enjoy a work or critique of fiction.
Hope you enjoyed the writing/art work you've seen, *Please* leave a comment, it'd be much appreciated! Thanks. 
"Art is born out of an ill-designed world." "The allotted function of art is not, as is often assumed, to put across ideas, to propagate thoughts, to serve as an example. The aim of art is to prepare a person for death, to plough and harrow his soul, rendering it capable of turning to good." -filmmaker, Andrei Tarkovsky, on what the purpose of art is.

It's biblical that you never know when you might die, so it's always good to have a farewell ready.
yep, just didn't have much of the motivation or fear to do it yet.
What an illistrated poem!
You are garaunteed one amazing writer with a great future. And I'll be there to walk that leadership path with you!

Thank you, friend, glad to be along side with you.
You really got me worried for a second.
A very beautiful poem, and I'm sure it will bring a smile to everyone's face when the time comes. That's what you need when you're grieving.

I had feeling that would happen when I chose the title; sorry for the scare again.
Indeed, I certainly hope it'll leave a comforting message when read.

Okay, now even you you do suddenly die one day, which you shouldn't and likely won't, you need not regret that you've gone without a proper farewell.
A very well-written poem indeed, the underlying hope shinning through the rather grave (pun not intended) title.
You know judging by your recent journals you seem to be thinking about life quite a lot lately...not a bad thing of course.

Ah, yes; but even then there might be those who'd wish that they could have said goodbye, so here's my answer to that problem.
That is the very thing which if you dig deep enough you will find is the only thing that can help this world; hope and in it rests love. The title itself also has a hidden optimistic meaning.
It's such a precious and bizarre thing which is too much taken for granted; truly it is a beauty I feel needs to be rediscovered.
Thanks for reading and the feedback.

Well done, man.
I've certainly found myself dwelling on the "what if" of dying abruptly, and have had thoughts of doing a "just in case" sort of thing as well, but it's yet to be done.
I'm glad if I've helped you out as far as "knowing you weren't just some ghost," even if only a little, and I'd also like to say you've done likewise for me.
Take care.

EDIT/P.S.
10 Respect for including a Van Gogh piece; he's one of my favorites. ;D

Thank you.
Ah, hopefully you'll find the time eventually.
You're welcome; glad to help a companion out.
Will do.
Same here; if I had to make an example that good artists struggle, I'd use him.

That's a really good poem. You have certainly interesting thoughts and it's nice that you manage to capture them in poems like this one. I hope you will feel peace when you die overall.
I liked the way you decided to thank all these people in your life. I think it's a very noble approach in a way.

I don't think I will, since I'll be dead; but maybe I will in another state of being.
I am grateful I even got to know such people.
Thanks for reading :3

Not as funny as I was expecting seeing as you referenced Monty Python in it's reveal. o_o;
I said there was NO Monty Python in that post. Sorry I mislead you though.
