If You Were Me

If you were Me

would you swing back

would you scream

would you talk

would you stay silent

If you were Me

would you still try to be perfect

would you still try to be happy

would you still go to therapy or

would it be easier to deal with alone

If you were Me

would you test those around you

to see if they'll leave or

would you let yourself get attached 

just to have them walk away

If you were Me

would you pinch your skin

just to make sure you're still there

to make sure you still exist

to make sure you can still feel

If you were Me

you'd be surprised what you'd do

just to remember that you exist
