“I wonder if they’ll
miss me
if I leave.”
What cruel words you say.

You often wonder if
someone cares.
someone would remember.
someone would cry.
You often wonder if
your life was worth living.
your life made a difference.
your life meant something to someone.
You often wonder why
you’re always alone.
you have nothing to hold on to.
you’re always left behind.

It’s only too late until you realize
you were never left behind
but only too scared to move ahead.
you’ve never had nothing to hold
but only too scared to fall and get hurt.
you were never alone
but only too scared no one would understand.
It’s only too late until you realize
your life meant a lot to someone
for reasons you would never comprehend.
your life made a difference
for reasons you never even knew.
your life was worth living
for reasons you never thought about.
It’s only too late until you realize
someone sheds tear after tear for you
because you left them for something better.
someone remembers you
because you left them something worth keeping in mind.
someone still cares about all this time
because you left them a someone who needed a friend all along.

What cruel words you’ve put in motion, now too late to turn:
“I wonder if they’ll
miss me
if I leave.”
