There are no rules or guidelines

Just a blank sheet of paper on your desk

Write what you want to be remembered by

But don't just say that you are the best

Achievements mean nothing

And medals can be thrown away

It's not about what you have done

But what you have completed along the way

How you treat your neighbors

And how you love the ones you hate

The lives you changed from day to day

For it's what you give and not what you take

It's about what you could have done

To help out the weak

When you were strong

Dancing around to your own beat

So spill your heart on the paper

Let the tears roll down your face

For it's not what you have written

But what you left in the empty space
