If I fall from the highest peak of the mountains nearby,
Will you remember me in five years?
Or will I flee from your mind,
Only to return when I'm mentioned,
If I'm ever mentioned again?
If I disappeared for awhile,
Cut all ties and communication,
Never contact you or anyone else again...
Will you worry for me?
Will you wonder where I've been,
Where I'm going,
If I'm alive?
Will you come running for me?
Will you care to, anyway?
If I told you I was nothing, I was no one,
Would you try to convince me otherwise?
If I told you that I hated myself,
Hated who I was and who I am,
Would you agree?
And if I bared my soul to you, would you run and hide?
I would.
But I doubt if you'd ever come running for me.
