What happens when you’re all alone
With so many people around
Laughing and carrying on
Without even a care in the world
You can’t stop the feelings
That haunt your thoughts day and night
That say you’re not good enough
And that you never will be
You want to go hide in a corner
But you don’t
Because it wouldn’t even matter
No one would notice the difference
They wouldn’t realize you were gone
And if they did they wouldn’t mind
Life would go on
As it always has
If you change schools
Or moved to another state
Or even if you died
Nothing would change
Because no one would visit you
No one would call to talk to you
No one would come to your funeral
Because no one really cares
They may ask you what’s wrong
But nothing or I’m tired is always fine
Because no one wants to dig deeper
To find out whats really wrong
Hardly anyone actually cares
About anyone other than themselves
They don’t see that you’re not happy
Or that they could easily change that
It doesn’t matter that
You don’t laugh anymore
You don’t smile anymroe
You don’t breathe anymore
Because that’s what happens
When nothing good happens
The bad things seem worse
And nothing ever gets better
You stop seeing
You stop thinking
You stop living
You stop breathing
Then all the little things
That could have stopped you
Don’t even matter anymore
Because it’s too late
Too late for him to apologize
Too late for him to change the past
Too late for him to save you
Because once certain things are done
They can never be reversed
