When I Die

A To-Do List

When I die

It means I have served my time

But my name will forever be on your mind

When I die

I want an open casket funeral

No makeup, natural beauty is beautiful

Sweatpants and a t-shirt look better on me than a dress ever will

And you remember how I always wore my hair in that stupid messy bun?

Yeah, I want that too

Leave my mouth in a straight line

Because I’ve always been more of a bitchface type

Actually I’ve just always been a bitch, period

When I die

Make sure my internet browser is clear

And my sock drawer is emptied, because who actually puts socks in a “sock drawer”

Am I right?

Read everything I’ve ever written

But burn the nitty gritty filled diaries

And please don’t post on Facebook telling me how much you miss me

Because if hell has wifi, you bet your ass I’m only using it to scare people with online ouija boards

And probably watch porn but I do that now too so whatever

When I die

I want everyone to get white roses at my funeral

And they can paint them before dropping them in my grave

I’ve always wanted to buried with a piece of art

Tuck a bottle of Sailor Jerry’s under my right arm

And drop a couple joints in my left hand

So I can still fuckin send er when I’m down there

Throwin down with the devil

When I die

Bury me face down so everyone that hates me can still kiss my ass

And put my middle fingers up

so all you assholes never forget to go fuck yourselves
