"Would anyone?" by Robert Brown Would anyone notice if I stopped caring? For all those that rely on me What difference would it make? I would still help them Still be there for them Still do what I should and What I must But my heart would no longer be in it The motions would be meaningless To me They would still accomplish Their purpose But they would be hollow Empty Would anyone notice though? As long as they still got what they wanted? Would anyone help if I was hurting? If the pain became all I knew What difference would it make? I have fought through pain before Whether it be physical Or emotional And have rarely let it stop me But how long could I go on As the pain And Scars Build up to steal away Everything I have And am Would anyone help though? As long as the only one hurting was me? Would anyone cry if I died? If I were no longer on this earth What difference would it make? I wouldn't feel anymore I wouldn't hurt anymore Myself or anyone else Accidentally or otherwise Life goes on And so do the living But a void would exist I suppose Though one that can Be filled Eventually Would anyone cry though? As long as I passed quietly? As I sit here and write this I'm afraid Because I don't know if I want The answers to be yes Or to be no
