Would You Remember Me?

If you gazed upon my face,
Would you ignore what's ugly?
And if I hid myself away,
Would you remember me?
 
If you looked into my eyes,
Would my soul be hard to see?
And if I go blind tomorrow,
Would you remember me?
 
If you knew I had a voice,
Would you listen attentively?
And if my words seemed meaningless,
Would you remember me?
 
If I wasn't picture perfect,
Would you blame society?
And if the world's view never changed,
Would you remember me?
 
If never on a milk-carton,
Or a famous show on TV,
If I vanished from the world today,
Would you remember me?
