Would you?


If you saw me crying What would you do? Would you pass me by? Would you even give a second glance? Would you ignore my existence? If you saw him bullying me What would you do? Pretend you saw nothing? Assume it's not as bad as it looks? Say it's none of your business? If I was always alone What would you do? Would you try to talk? Would you assume I'm weird? Would you make fun of me like the rest? If I finally ended this life What would you do? Would you start to feel bad? Would you feel bad for ignoring me? Would you feel bad for making fun of me? Would you take back the hurtful things you said? Would you help someone who is just like I was? Or would you continue to be a coward?
