what if?

What if I was to die?

would you miss me?

somehow I doubt it

what if I was cut myself?

make myself bleed

I see a smirk rising

all these what ifs'?

and not a lot of I love you's

you see me dying

though, up there.. I'll be laughing...

In the depth of my own pain I have felt this way before and understand.. If I weren't here tomorrow would the lack of my existence effect anyone..,or would life go on and it would be like any other day??
Then I realize I'm here for me first...others second and the cup of love I need to drink from is my own... :) xo
Your wonderful and I would miss you...xx

[Balthazar]

Yes...You would be missed. We all have a purpose, a reason to be here. I have been there myself. I have learned that loving yourself is a priority. Then the love of others will come. Do not let others stop you from living and keep you from your full potential. You have the power to live, so use it. Live life to its fullest, and let no one keep you from your greatness

A question that you may only get your answer
If you asked that to the person that
Is causing such deep painful emotions

What if I was cut myself?
Make myself bleed
I see a smirk rising
Why give any one the satisfaction, no one in the world its worth harming
Yourself over,
Your words are expressed a beautiful depth painful emotion,
A lot of soul went into this piece.
Brilliant
Hugsss :)

The what ifs' of life leave us guessing. I like the direct questions in this poem. We live in a world where love and concern is hard to find. We need to slow down and listen to the important people or they will fade away from you and you can be alone. I like how you ended this poem. Thank you for a excellent poem.

i ahve asked myself this soo many times through out my short life, starting whne i was 17.... hang in there love you are such a special person and im glad to know oyu.. we all love you

[light and ashes]

Beautiful and lovely poem of not really disperation of asking to be missed, but questioning. I have felt this way some too and questioned the importance of my existence to others. I agree with Lily that you are here for you and not for anyone else. As she says you need to drink from your own cup of love and love yourself very deeply and dearly. I have come to a place where I love myself in that way. It does not spring from vanity but, from your truest self as we grow. Sure we all have our insecurites and imperfections but we are all human. Yet we are all perfect in our own way :]

What if ?
Address your poem to a person and send it to
that person and they will know your pain.
Just sending "what if" out into the ether leaves
it an unamswerab;e question.
Of course those of us who have feelings would
hate to have anything happen to you, but we don`t
know if someone else cares, there is no way that we
can know that.
Please remember that many of us here on WC wooud
be devastated at the thought of losing you.
Write to us and let us know how you are doing.
