I, being of sound mind and body, do hereby leave you:<\/p>\n
My mind-<\/p>\n
Where dreams of greatness once manifested,<\/p>\n
Where a plethora of useless knowledge once swam,<\/p>\n
Where words of wisdom once danced,<\/p>\n
Where hopes and aspirations once congregated,<\/p>\n
Where fond memories now lie.<\/p>\n
My hands-<\/p>\n
That once held the precious cargo of my future,<\/p>\n
That once caressed the intimate places of ones who promised forever,<\/p>\n
That once cradled my head weary of the world,<\/p>\n
That once clenched in outrage, anger, and grief,<\/p>\n
That once rose in compliance and surrender.<\/p>\n
My heart-<\/p>\n
Full of love for ones deserving and undeserving,<\/p>\n
Full of admiration for those who stood brave and strong,<\/p>\n
Full of compassion for the downtrodden and despaired,<\/p>\n
Full of regret for chances not taken and mistakes made,<\/p>\n
Full of sorrow for broken trust and untruth.<\/p>\n
My soul-<\/p>\n
Which embodies all of me:<\/p>\n
Every thought, every feeling, every hope, every dream, every memory, every secret of who I was truly meant to be.<\/p>\n
