THE END OF THE WORLD
I sit on my roof
and watch life roll by.
I watch the sun and the moon
drop out of the sky.
And as the world is devoured
I think about the days
when I was drawing, and writing,
and acting in plays.
None of that matters now
The world is at its end.
The friends that I have made on earth
will soon be burned and dead.
The fire is engulfing
the ground and rocks and trees
and I just wait for the time
when it comes for me.
The Apocalypse, Armageddon,
call it what you will,
no matter what you call it,
it comes for you still.
Life doesn't even matter,
it eventually comes to an end.
The only thing that matters
is whether when you've met
Someone whose life you've had an impact on,
the only thing that matters
is whether when you meet someone, they say
"I remember you! You changed my life in so many ways!"
Because the greatest thing in the world
is to help others feel loved.
Not that it matters now,
I see the blackness, here it comes....
