Blackout

One day when I blackout, someone will need me, 
Someone will care, someone with understand how much I mean to them 
How vital my presence truly is so sweet 
I got a lot to do in a day 
So easy to forget the obvious and simple things not hard to remember 
Words come at me from all directions 
None ask how I feel 
None ask what I feel 
Some should ask if cry tears 
When I black out, no one should touch me 
They should all just know I feel lovely 
They will think then, I wonder if she hears me 
What does she see? 
What’s wrong with her? 
And mentally I will reply, 
Yes, I hear you, I don't see anything and nothing is wrong with me 
And for that moment in time I will become one with myself 
Blacking out everything else!
