I may die young
I think I would die young,
Though, I do not know why.
Only that my heart is not strong:
I feel pains, this is not a lie.
Does it mean my heart is so wrong,
For which I may soon die?
I cannot, into oblivion, be flung;
I do not want my friends to cry!
How can I not, by death, be stung?
I still love life; my hope is high!
Maybe, I should see a doctor, not a dung,
So that he'll tell me how not to die!
what do you say?
