Carry On

I know that no one would really care, 
Despite the lies I am told on a daily basis.
Though I stand here, right in front of your face,
Would you notice if my life was in a crisis? 

Am I still here to all you people? 
Am I too negative for you people?
Sorry I can no longer be like you people,
But am I even a person?

As I was left all alone, I cried for a while,
But I realized I didn't matter anymore.
So no more crying for me since I'm leaving soon,
But when I told you, you simply said "carry on." 

What am I supposed to carry along,
When I have no heart case left to put it in. 
So, I say this now and forever,
Good-bye. 

Carry on
