Remember Me
Please don’t erase me
If I die before my time
Don’t make up fake sentiments
Platitudes to replace what was real
Life is messy
And so am I
I don’t want your polished version
I want people to remember me
The gritty bits
The uncomfortable parts
Please don’t whitewash my story
Let who I was remain intact
Remember me
Not a sanitised, comfortable fairy-tale
