Fade to Black

I don’t want to die

Unforgotten,

To fade to black

In a whisper,

I want to leave my mark

And be known,

I want to do something great

To inspire others,

As I have been

By those before me,

I want to create something

That will mark their hearts,

To make them feel

When they remember,

I don’t want to be another life

Unknown,

I have dreams

I want to make real,

If only for a little while,

I don’t want to fade to nothing

When I die,

I don’t want to fade to black
