The Day Before I Die Poem by Knoxy Tomar

I want to feel like I tried
I want to feel satisfied
I want to be happy with my life
I want to have my loved ones aside
I don't wanna see any tears in their eyes
Just delighted faces completely dried

I don't know who I will be
I don't know what I will have achieved
I just pray that it was something in which believed
I want much more than just enough
I want to be a man who stood strong even when the times were tough
A man whom the people he loved could blindly trust

Right now the path's shrouded by fog and mist
I walk alone without anyone to assist
As I stride ahead, someone grabs my wrist
If I look back I will lose the path ahead, so I must resist
I have always given in but this time I cannot persist
If I turn back I will be lost in the fog forever
For the first time, I have to dedicate myself to an endeavor

Once the mist clears would you still be here?
Would you still care?
You won't, you will have been long gone
But I promise to find you, I will search dusk till dawn
Maybe we will be strangers who once knew each other
But we will rekindle, all these memories we will recover
So let's meet again after a while
Because the day before I die, I want to see your smile.
