" And when I die

Don't say I lost my Battle

Say I fought quietly for longer than anyone knew

Don't say I gave up,

Say I kept giving until I had nothing left and still tried to smile

Don't say I'm in a better place

Say I finally found Peace in the silence I was always searching for

And if you remember me, Remember the parts I showed and the parts I hid-

Both were Real,

Both were Me."
