am i here?

 If I should die
 And no one knows
 Well, 
 That’s alright, it’s how it goes,
 I suppose
 that is, if no one knows
 when it’s time for me 
 to go,
 you know?
 
 I suppose, if no one knows
 and the sun still rises and the grass
 still grows, 
 that’s just how the world has a tendency 
 to flow 
 if no one knows and it’s time for me
 to go
 
 so I leave these words and I leave these
 notes
 as a piece of myself that has no plans
 to go
 so that more would know (far from when I go)
 that I once walked the same ground
 you do
