If I may die



If I may die

If I may die,
I shall be forgotten.
If I may die there shall
Not be any rain.
If I may die no lives
Will be changed.
If I may die no one
Will care.
If I may die
Many will be happy.
If I may die the sun
Will shine... Just to mock my death.
If I may die… Where will I go?
