Smile, I'm Dead

Dear Mom

you don't have to worry anymore
you no longer have to cry
i will no longer be a burden for you
because I'm no longer going to be alive

i hate to cause you pain
with all the troubles in my life
i hate to see you cry
because of all my strife

i will finally lift the chains
off of your shoulders
but i promise you
i will always be your angel

at my funeral, promise me
that you wont cry, but instead
you will smile for me
smile because my pain is finally dead

love always,
your loving daughter
