Ready to Die (an Ode to Biggie, Pac, and Dr. Maya Angelou)

I was inspired by an array of emotions brought upon the holidays and the celebration of Love...

Undying love, to me means to do so without limitations. 

The way my mother feels, and the way I feel for my wife. 

Love the way nobody else is supposed to understand. 

Here Goes.

.....

When I die none of this will matter. 

Not my bad hair days, 

Or my Instagram filters, 

Not which car I drive, 

Or how much money I have saved up, 

Not how many awards I receive 

Or who took my virginity

I will be dead and so will all the pettiness that keeps us occupied

Your color don't matter

Or the neighborhood you live in

Your GPA won't give you much soon after

Or your credit score 

Your six pack ain't important

Or your mile and half run time

All that matters is LOVE 

Love. 

Not your body, 

But your mind 

Not you net worth, 

But your smile 

Not your reputation 

But your legacy 

Who are we when we die but pictures and memories, 

Flashbacks living in the imaginations and dreams of the people

We loved

And who love us back 

I will never forget that 

Nor will I fear death 

Because who knows whats waiting on the other side

Courage maybe? 

Remember when your trials get to tribulating 

And your inner fears become your tour guides

Let it go! 

And follow whichever way love takes you 

Follow Love. 

Wherever it may be. 

Love for you will never be what it is for me, 

And that is why God is.
