WHAT SHOULD I CALL THIS POEM

WHAT SHOULD I CALL THIS POEM?

My life is useless
but words are priceless
im good for nothing
but bad for something
I played it safe
And much Ive gained
others left early, but I remained
I take no risk
So I cant lose
I really don't care
the dice I choose
Im waiting for, and don't know what
the clock is ticking, little time I've got


A POEM FOR MY DEATH
 (In the event of my demise)

Let no soul sing on my death day
let no crowds ring to gather farewells
let no tears fall like drops of rain
as I lay down, six feet underground.
Please no fancy words from worn out mouths
except this poem for death my spouse
remember me not for words unsaid
rejoice ahead over many poems I've read.
And if I never make it to published books
I might lift one soul who takes a look
I came, I saw, I wrote it down
I conquered fear without a frown.
Don't cry for me-the useless life flown by
yet let my poems live on and never die
oh count me not for earthly prosperity
but measure my words with great severity
And as I lay down to rest in peace
may my poems of wisdom never cease.
