I know no one will come to my funeral.
It doesn’t feel like fear—
it feels real.
I might be the funny guy
who made others smile,
but when I died,
still… everyone smiled.
A few sighs scattered in the wind,
but even my mother
didn’t cry.
Maybe I was just a noise
that filled their quiet
for a while.
A punchline
with no setup,
a memory they’ll blur,
not miss—
even dismiss.
I left pieces of myself
in their laughter—
but no one noticed
the funny guy
was a fighter.
Yes, they call me a writer.
