Do you relay not care if I disappear
Would you care if I walked out of this house
Never to return again?
Would you miss me at all
If I didn't show up at school today?
Would anyone notice?
Would anyone even care enough
To find me?
Or would you just go on in life
Like I was never there.
Would you be to focused on
Your electronics to notice
I didn't come home.
Would you be to focused
On The passing kids
To know the failing kid
Didn't show.  
When will you start to care?
When you find the note on
The dining room table
That I left.
Or when you hear my name
On the news missing child.
When you relies that empty desk
Next to you once belonged
To me.
You will do all you can to find me
But you would have been too late
You asked why, as you cried that night
But did you ever think
That it might have been you
That drove me away.
I did not leave by choice
I left because it was my only escape.
