Significant
Do you ever feel
Like you could put a bullet in your brain
And nobody’s life but yours would change
There’d be no memorial
No obituaries, no mention in newspaper editorials
No fireworks In the sky
No attempt to celebrate your life
Like a gnat on a car window
You’re nothing, every word they said was hollow
Nothing, a ghost, a shell of memory
To them, nothing worth remembering
Your life never meant a thing
To anyone but you
And you ended it
So did you ever care either
Did anyone even care about you
Not even you could stand you
You were a gnat on a car window
Squashed against life’s dull moments
So small, so insignificant
They don’t remember you
They never even thought about you
You never went to a single party
Not because they didn’t want you there
But because they never remembered to invite you
You claimed apathy
But your life was a tragedy
Emotional breakdown
Staring up crying
Barely even seen
Blank faces and fake concern
Commotion in the middle of the classroom
And the teachers still just teaching
The gossip girls not looking
The jocks aren't noticing
Are you invisible
No, you’re just nothing
You claim apathy
But that’s how the world treated you
You claim apathy
But you meant so little, I’d say it’s a tragedy
But really
Who cares what happens to you
You claimed apathy, but nobody even knew
Alone, penniless, nobody called you in missing
Not even your parents
They forgot you even exist
Alone, penniless, four days before they found you
They weren’t even looking
Alone, penniless, with a bullet in your brain
Four days you were missing
Nobody’s life had changed
The stolen gun was called in
But not the missing kid
