tombstone

This poem is being entered in the You Died Competition

the day i die
and am laid to rest
i want it knowm
i gave life my best

i lived with words
died writing my verse
i loved this life
for better or worse

my last request
i ask if i may
on my tombstone
i want it to say:

here's faithmairee
who finally rests
no more poeing
for this poetess
