Don’t Cry For Me When I’m Gone

Why is it that people are quick to judge you when alive and quick to help once you’re dead? Why not accord someone the same empathy you accord them when they’re gone. You praise them to the skies on how good they were and how their death has brought nothing but gief and sorrow but you were nowhere to be found when they were alive.

You were watching from the sidelines and were the first to point fingers whenever they did something wrong. When they were crying for help, you deemed it as attention seeking and you couldn’t even be bothered to listen, let alone help. You only see the signs or realise the signs were all over when they are gone.

What’s the use of your grievances and feeling sorry when I’m gone. I needed your help when I was alive. That was the time you had a chance to help me. How can you help me when I’m no longer there? What’s the use of praising me and comforting the ones I left behind when all this could have been avoided.

I think it’s a high time people stop assuming that everything is seeking attention. Majority are crying for help in the only way they can. Help where you can to avoid regrets when it’s too late. People need a chance when they’re breathing because once they’re gone, they turn to bodies and sorry to say this but bodies have no much use.

Love reading, writing and research. I like it real and I give it as real as possible. Cooking is my therapy but writing helps me decompress in any situation.
