If I Died

I wonder if anyone would be upset

Or if they would rejoice in my death

I wonder if anyone would care

Or if it would be just another day for them

I wonder if anyone would mourn

Or if they would move on like it’s nothing

I wonder if anyone would miss me

Or if they would be glad I’m gone

I wonder if anyone would remember me

Or if everyone would forget me after two days.

I wonder if I’d be buried

Or never found, left to rot in the earth

I wonder if anyone would sympathize with me

Or if I would still be treated like the bad guy — even in death

That’s the problem with feeling like no one cares about your existence

Or even sees you.

I hardly even feel like a real person

Am I real?

Do I exist?

Is there anyone who knows and cares about me?

If I wasted away today…

Would anyone even notice?
