To Simply Not Exist
Honestly,
I want to just not exist,
Like I was never here before,
No one to be missed,
I want to disappear into thin air,
An obsolete object,
Like I was never actually there,
I want to eliminate myself from the equation,
Avoid being a problem in anyone’s life,
A physical act of identity evasion,
A nobody to be remembered by,
All I do is disappoint,
All I do is hurt those who care,
There wouldn’t even be a point,
If I was never actually there,
Their lives would be fine,
Better off from the pain that I cause,
I am better off as a never mind,
Then being placed on this earth with all my flaws,
Sometimes I look in the mirror,
And wonder how I got here,
Why I don’t fit in,
And why I bother to love, care or have fear,
Where I continue to wonder where I end,
I know I am not a waste of space,
And have people around me who care,
But I couldn’t hurt them in the first place,
If I was never there,
I am not suicidal,
Because of how much I care about others,
But sometimes I wish they never knew me at all,
So, I couldn’t be a bother,
I don’t want to be missed,
I don’t want anyone to cry for me,
If I simply did not exist,
Maybe everyone else could remain happy.
