I Wonder

I wonder….

I wonder if I cut myself….
With just the right precision, 
 At just the right angle,
Can I bleed out the pain that continually stings me?
You think if I use a small knife
 I will feel it?


I wonder…

If I fell to sleep forever…
Would I miss anything?
Anything that would make my existence 
Worth living for…
Right now?


I wonder …

If my life is really important,
‘cuz nothing in it 
Seems to be important…
No one sees me
No one cares for me…
No one sees the rain.

I wonder…

If I died,
Would any one cry
Not out of duty,
Not because it’s humane,
But because…They loved me?
