"The Last Poem of Helplessness"
Did you see me?
No, you didn't see me.
Did you notice me?
No, you didn't notice me.
Did you ignore me?
Yes, you ignored me.
They only see your appearance
Until they see your scars
They will not notice your pain
Until you become insane
They ignore while you were crying
Until they see you wiping
They will not see you bleeding
Until you show your cutting
They will not notice your "I'm not fine"
Until they see you flat line
They ignore that you're begging for help
Until you sacrifice your health
They will not see your situation
Until they just see your action
They will not notice your sorry
Until they see your name in obituary
They ignore your presence
Until they receive condolence
They will see you as an option
Until you drink the poison
They will not notice that you're not bitter
Until you go to the bridge and jump onto the river
They will ignore your whimper
Until you get the gun and pull the trigger
They will only see you laughing
Until they see you in a coffin
They will not notice that you're holding on
Until they see you on ceiling hanging on
They will ignore that you're dying inside
Until you commit su***de.
People tend to show first the hate
And show that care about you
Or love you
When it's too late
Finally, I see forever
Six-feet under.
And I guess it's all done
When I'm gone.
Please don't cry
Thank you and goodbye.
