If I Die Tomorrow

written by: Tylia Flores

@stompingoncp1

If I die tomorrow

Please don’t cry for me,

Cause I’ll be running free,

finally

No wheelchair needed,

I’ll be up there catching with friends and family I ain’t seen,

Grabbing my glass of southern white wine,

While sitting with Jesus,

Thanking him for the crazy but wild life he gave me,

So if I die tomorrow,

please don’t wear black to my funeral,

Instead, wear the color I wear with pride the most,

If I die tomorrow please don’t cry,

Cause I’ll be running free…

What turns you on creatively?

Because I write in several different genres (YA novels, thrillers, dark and twisty short stories, humorous essays), I find inspiration in a lot of places depending on what I’m working on in the moment. I like to take an idea and think “what if?” That “what if” usually ends up being something spooky and dark if it’s a novel or a short story, or something randomly absurd if it’s my blog.
