All it takes to save a person is to let them know they exist.

How would you feel if I died?

Would you even notice I was gone?

Would you step away, look up just once?

To see me falling through the sky

 

Would you try to save me if you could?

Hold out your arms, sure, and strong

Ready to catch me when I go

Or would you let me fall on

Further and further until you can see me no more

 

Would you be happy I was dead

Would you party on my grave?

Would you graffiti my headstone

So you don’t have to look at me

 

Or would you come to say goodbye

Respect the wishes I had before I died

Would you realize that the only wish I ever had?

Was for you to look me in the eye

    Makes me wonder how many unnoticed people go about their day to day lives feeling like they are nobody and nothing.
