Till The Day I Die...

I thought this story in my life was done
I was ready to close out the last chapter,
go out with a bang. It was already signed,
sealed and delivered. Ready to hang up
the cape go out like Batman in the final act,
but then my Catwoman dragged me back
in. Now, I’m living beyond my expectations.
I’m living like I have nothing to lose.
 
I look for signs to continue from faces who never
cared to be begin with. Had to look in my
own reflection and find the fighter, fighting to
stay alive. The breaker, still breaking limitations
from the world. The winner, still winning but
forgetting to celebrate every move.
 
I had to do it for my own life, not for the praise,
not for the clarity, not for the rarity of just
being mentioned in someone's mouth. I had so
much more to say. I’m still a storyteller till
the day I die.
 
I thought about walking away until I realized
that I had so much more to say. I was letting
all the love stories go untold and the stories of
heroes fighting for a better life. The hero in the
shadows who came out and left living in the life
they never thought they could never have. Now,
they leaving holding someone who they brought
out of the wreckage and the story is only beginning.
 
I was about to leave so much untold. Thinking
no one was listening well that fighter in me
was fighting with every word I wrote. The
breaker was breaking barriers with each note
I sung. The winner collecting the pieces and
creating nothing but life lessons over and over
again.
 
I had to do it for my own life, not for the praise,
not for the clarity, not for the rarity of just
being mentioned in someone's mouth. I had
much more to say. I’m still a storyteller till
the day I die.
 
Never leave this world when you still got so
much to say. Never leave this world until
you’ve expressed every note. Never leave this
world with any regrets. Unleash that fighter
in your soul, that breaker breaking every fear in
your mind, that winner in your heart.
 
I had to do it for my own life, not for the praise,
not for the clarity, not for the rarity of just
being mentioned in someone's mouth. I had
much more to say.
 
I’m a storyteller till the day I die.
