If I died tonight, would anyone even notice?
Would people cry and question fate?
Would they even acknowledge my absence?
Would they care that I'd sacrificed my life to everyone else
and that, even in death, I was enslaved?
Would what was clutched in my hand
even rate a second glance?
Would they see it for what it is?
Or, would they all just say "I told you so"
and whisper inanities beside my casket?
Behind my back.
I don't want to do this anymore.
I don't want to live a thankless life.
I can't bear to complete another useless task.
I have no more unheeded words to lash out with.
No more prayers to be answered.
Life is kicking my ass.
Maybe death would be kinder.
