Samuel Kilonzo Poet ABC

Would You Care

Would you care?
If I slid a blade across my skin,
Would you care then?
What if I jumped off a cliff and drowned,
Would you wear a frown?
Is it sad that sometimes,
I want to be terribly injured
to see if you care?
Thinking while talking with
friends on a balcony,
wondering if I get pushed off
accidentally, what would you
feel?
Think?
Would there be fear in your eyes?
Would you run down the stairs
to see if I was alive?
Would you panic and wonder
what the world is going to be like without me?
Or would you feel... nothing?
Would you not even care?
You cant help me, theres nothing you can do
cause im already broken through and through
just leave me alone and ill disappear
no one will notice im not here
ill be a shadow on the wall
and none of you will even know at all
im breaking piece by piece
my end is nearly here
Would you even care if I disappeared?

Shirley Rebstock October 10, 2018 at 10:07 PM This poem makes me sad. I would hope the person in this poem who cares so much whether this certain person even would miss if he or she was gone, would love themself more than this. That they would be able to say after some tears, well if you don't care, someone else will because i am worth it. I am not "just a shadow on the wall". Thought provoking poem. Thanks for making me use my imagination.
